From Lucifer on the Sofa (2022). Lucifer on the Sofa is the tenth studio album by American rock band Spoon, released on February 11, 2022, through Matador Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Vox AC30HW2X Hand-Wired, the rig we use for Spoon's other songs from Lucifer on the Sofa, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
