A track on the band's self-titled 2018 album, with Jesse Rutherford's laid-back vocal over a slow groove and soft, shimmering guitars. The guitar tone is clean and spacious, with long reverb and delay trails filling the gaps between chords. No source available here confirms the exact gear on this recording, so a Jazzmaster through a Morgan AC20 with reverb and delay pedals stands in. Use the neck pickup and a clean tone with plenty of reverb and delay.
