Recording notes

From Color Theory (2020). Color Theory is the second studio album by American indie rock singer-songwriter Sophie Allison, known under the moniker Soccer Mommy, released on 28 February 2020 by Loma Vista Recordings. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Jaguar through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Soccer Mommy's other songs from Color Theory, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup.
