From Hot Thoughts (2017). Hot Thoughts is ninth studio album by American rock band Spoon, released on 17 March 2017 by Matador. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Vintage II 1972 Telecaster Thinline through a Vox AC30HW2X Hand-Wired, the rig we use for Spoon's other songs from Hot Thoughts, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
