Prefab Sprout 
Adolescence (2013)
(McAloon)


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.
