Notes
Studio recording, 2024 (The Wow! Signal album). Guitar and pedal info confirmed by co-producer Aleks Von Korff for this track. Amp inferred from Bellamy's typical studio rig for fuzz-heavy solos in this era; no explicit amp model cited for this song, but JVM410H is standard for Muse studio fuzz tones post-2015.
