Neil Young and Crazy Horse have announced a new studio album, World Record.
Recorded live and mixed to analog tape at Malibu’s Shangri-La recording studio, the new LP will arrive via Reprise Records on November 18. Both Young and Rick Rubin share production credits.
Love Earth, the album’s first single, is a heartwarming downtempo number, crafted with melodic piano chords, some subtle slide guitar playing and a few electric guitar leads, to boot. Check it out below.
Speaking on his virtual daily newspaper, the Times Contrarian, Young says of World Record: “Real magic lasts and we think we have it.”
In terms of formats available, World Record will be released on vinyl as a three-sided double album with an etching on side four, and in both cassette and double CD versions. A limited-edition version of the album pressed on clear vinyl will also be available via Young’s webstore.
All purchases made via Young’s webstore will come with free hi-res digital audio downloads, and the album will also be available on most major DSPs.
