From Up on Gravity Hill (2024). Up on Gravity Hill is the fifth studio album by Canadian band Metz. It was released on April 12, 2024, through Sub Pop. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for METZ's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
