Recording notes

From O My Beloved (2026). O My Beloved is the tenth studio album by the American rock band Kings of Leon, released on 6 November 2026 by LoveTap. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson ES-335 through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for Kings of Leon's other songs from O My Beloved, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
