From Wildness (2018). Wildness is the seventh studio album by Northern Irish alternative rock band Snow Patrol, released on 25 May 2018 by Polydor Records. The album's personnel list credits Gary Lightbody, Nathan Connolly and Johnny McDaid with guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Vintera '70s Telecaster Custom through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Snow Patrol's other songs from Wildness, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
