From You're Gonna Need a Little Music (2026). You're Gonna Need a Little Music is the third studio album by British rock band Yard Act, released on July 17, 2026 on Island. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Telecaster through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for Yard Act's other songs from You're Gonna Need a Little Music, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
