Notes
Studio recording, 2008 (from the album 'Somewhere at the Bottom of the River Between Vega and Altair'). No direct evidence for exact gear on this track; Les Pauls and Marshalls are commonly associated with La Dispute's early sound.

The riff requires intermediate skill due to its dynamic picking, tight chord changes, and the need to maintain clarity with a crunchy, mid-forward tone.
