Neil Young's collaboration with producer Daniel Lanois is getting its first complete public airing via National Public Radio's First Listen segment on the NPR website. Already receiving widespread acclaim as his best record in a handful of years, Le Noise showcases Young's grunge guitar sound -- which started with a specially outfitted acoustic guitar Lanois had ready for Young when he showed up to record. Young reportedly loved the sound and was even more enthused when he switched to electric, telling one interviewer that when he started playing "It sounded like God."
Much of this record was reportedly created on the fly, with Young melding with the guitar and playing with the big sound, loops, fuzz, and feedback Lanois was creating for him. Murky sounding music showcased well by the spooky, stark black-and-white videos of Young performing. Look for a Straight Lines Review!
