Recording notes

From Moments of Clarity (2023). Moments of Clarity is the third studio album by American rock band Narrow Head, released on 10 February 2023 by Run for Cover Records. The album's personnel list credits Jacob Duarte, Will Menjivar and Kora Puckett with guitars. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Narrow Head's other songs from Moments of Clarity, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
