The sitar wasn’t the only example of this. Of course, the resulting sound has those late-60s bohemian associations, but as Jake postulates, “The coolest part of picking up a guitar that I’m maybe unfamiliar with is that it sort of guides my hand and forces me to play in an alternative way.” The coolest part of picking up a guitar that I’m maybe unfamiliar with is that it sort of guides my hand and forces me to play in an alternative way
Not one to overthink a good thing, he laughs: “It was really cool, so I just kept it.” I get to pick up a guitar I’ve never picked up before and see what happens.”įor one of the record’s stand-out tracks, Watching Over, he did just that, and grabbed a nearby Coral Electric Sitar to try out on the song’s intricate, mystically tinged solo. He recalls: “The beautiful thing about getting in the studio for me is that I’m not using anything that I’m particularly familiar with, which sort of gives me a wider range of creative elaboration. This being said, Jake’s mind was open to exploration. “If I’m working with a bunch of different guitars not getting what I want, I can go there and know that I can achieve what I’m hearing in my head.” “It’s sort of a default for me,” he explains. Still equipped with its original stock PAF humbuckers, it’s Jake’s number one for a breadth of different tones and tasks. To clarify a little, the guitar has the SG shape, but still sports the ‘Les Paul’ name because it was made during the time when Gibson hadn’t quite ironed-out the finer details of its nomenclature after introducing the SG as the double-cut successor to the Les Paul. Jake brought longtime staple of his live and recording rigs into the studio – his trusty 1961 Gibson Les Paul SG. “We left with a lot of material that didn’t even make the record that was revisited and given a different life when we developed The Battle Garden’s Gate.” “Through the course of jamming and all the time that we had in the studio, there were tons of extra musical bits,” Jake says.

Testament to the abundantly creative headspace the band found themselves in, not only were they able to produce 10 killer tracks – plus a bonus, extended version of Lover, Leaver (Taker, Believer) – for Anthem, but they took home the seeds that would germinate into their next great record. We left with a lot of material that didn’t even make the record that was revisited and given a different life when we developed The Battle Garden’s Gate Jake Kiszka “I think a lot of that live energy translates,” he says with satisfaction. With previously penned tracks out the window and fresh ideas whirling around the studio, the band began tracking what Jake describes as “a seemingly limitless list of songs and musical concepts” the good old fashioned way – with everyone in one room, all playing together. “It was interesting because we did bring a handful of material and had everything mapped out, but it turned out that being in a certain environment catered to the essence of off-the-cuff creativity.” “We were exploding with creativity,” Jake recalls. The boys cut the record at Blackbird Studios in Nashville in what would turn out to be a particularly prolific session. Its collection of rambunctious rockers and pastoral acoustic numbers demonstrated the band’s ability to rise above the chatter and simply do what they do best: make great rock music. When Anthem Of The Peaceful Army dropped in October 2018, it sold over 80,000 copies in the first week and debuted at number 3 on the US Billboard 200. One side of the music press hailed Greta Van Fleet as the next great saviours of rock’n’roll, while claims that the band were little more than a Led Zeppelin rip-off act bounced around like heckles hurled from the darkest corners of a crowded concert hall.
