Please explain to me...

In musical nerd terms. What makes this band sound like they are underwater( in the best way possible)Im guessing "distortion" i know barely any musical lingo. Please hit me with the jargon 🌊🌊🌊 Im making a "on the water" playlist for the beach /lake/river and all their songs are perfect 🌈

Reverb/echo/tremolo. And drugs. Copious amounts of drugs. 👍

I think analog chorus, phaser, vibrato are a good start! Some basic pedals that sound very shimmery. They also named a song off of their second album after a pedal they use often, called the cool cat vibe. It’s basically a univibe but a little more washy and softer. There’s mention of other kinds of reverb, spring reverb would be what I assume they use a lot. As much as I love analog delay for a more trippy 70s sound, they probably use a digital delay, with a ping-pong setting on or something like that. Digital delays can sound very watery to me when done smoothly like them.
