 Adolescence (2013)
 (McAloon)
 
 From: "Crimson/Red" (2013)
 
 The chords on the recording are played using a sound called ?Fat Fifth?,
 which adds the fifth to every note played, thus creating densely layered
 chords which are difficult to reproduce on a guitar. I think what I?ve got
 here is pretty close, but it is just a suggestion, of course.
