From Kent (1995). Kent is the debut studio album by Swedish alternative rock band Kent, released on 15 March 1995. 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 Kent's other songs from Kent, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.
