Natalie Mering's lush, cinematic '70s soft-rock revival — Laurel Canyon by way of a dream. Clean, chorused Strat with a slide-guitar-flavored lead floating over strings and Rhodes, drenched in reverb. Neck pickup, no grit, chorus and reverb for that widescreen glow. It's Karen Carpenter warmth with a modern haze; keep it pristine and let the guitar shimmer and swell inside the arrangement.
