From Formentera (2022). Formentera is the eighth studio album by Metric. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Marshall 1987X 50W Plexi Reissue, the rig we use for Metric's other songs from Formentera, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
