Recording notes

From Long Lost (2021). Long Lost is the fourth studio album by American indie folk band Lord Huron. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Lord Huron's other songs, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.
