Recording notes

From Leaves Turn Inside You (2001). Leaves Turn Inside You is the seventh and final studio album by the American post-hardcore band Unwound, released on April 17, 2001 by Kill Rock Stars. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Mustang through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Unwound's other songs from Leaves Turn Inside You, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
