Thunderclouds


"Thunderclouds" is a pop track by LSD, the supergroup formed by Labrinth, Sia, and Diplo, released in 2018 as the third single from their debut album. Written by five collaborators and produced by Labrinth, Diplo, and Jr Blender, the song blends atmospheric pop with layered electronic production. For electric guitarists, it offers an interesting challenge in recreating its textured, ambient tones and exploring how clean and effects-driven guitar parts can complement modern pop arrangements.

  • "Thunderclouds" was the third single from LSD's debut album, following "Genius" and "Audio" in the release sequence.
  • The track was co-written by five songwriters, including all three LSD members plus King Henry and Jr Blender.
  • Released by Columbia Records in 2018, the song appeared on the LSD debut album issued in 2019.
Fender Telecaster

Fender Telecaster

Sia's studio sessions favor the Telecaster for its bright single-coil pickups that cut through dense synth and drum arrangements with clarity. The guitar's articulation helps every note punch through without muddying the midrange in her intricate productions.

Fender Jazzmaster

The Jazzmaster's single-coil brightness and unique tonal character provide the articulation Sia needs in layered arrangements where definition matters. Its warm yet cutting tone complements her minimalist effects approach while maintaining presence in busy mixes.

Sia's live and session work uses the Twin Reverb's lush onboard reverb and clean headroom to capture natural amp warmth without saturation. The amp's vintage character delivers the spacious, reverb-drenched textures central to her production aesthetic.

The Deluxe Reverb provides Sia's session players with warmth and natural breakup in a more compact package than the Twin Reverb. Its built-in plate reverb emulation and responsive tube dynamics support her signature sparse, reverb-heavy effect chain.
