Recording notes

From Model (2024). Model is the third studio album by American indie rock band Wallows. 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 Wallows' other songs from Model, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
