From Go Farther in Lightness (2017). Go Farther in Lightness is the second studio album by Australian alternative rock band Gang of Youths, released on 18 August 2017 by Mosy Recordings. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for Gang of Youths' other songs from Go Farther in Lightness, stands in. Set the amp clean, with the gain barely up and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
