From Kind (2019). Kind is the eleventh studio album by Welsh rock band Stereophonics released on 25 October 2019 on Parlophone Records, nearly two years after their previous album, Scream Above the Sounds. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Junior through a Vox AC30HW2X Hand-Wired, the rig we use for Stereophonics' other songs from Kind, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the single pickup. Standard tuning.
