From Wildlife (2011). Wildlife is the second studio album by American post-hardcore band La Dispute, released October 4, 2011, on independent label No Sleep Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for La Dispute's other songs from Wildlife, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
