Neil Young's New Album: 63-Year-Old Tracks & Dual Masters

0:00It's April 22nd. This is Music News Today, your AI-powered source for everything music. Neil Young and his band Chrome Hearts just wrapped their next album after last year's talk into the trees. It's got five fresh tracks they cut super quick at Rick Rubin's Malibu studio, plus three unreleased gems from 1963 when Young was. Just 17 gigging in Winnipeg. They nailed four new songs on day one, the fifth, the next day, then hit a wall. Young dug into his archives and pulled out those old tunes, looping in his head, 63 years old, never heard before. Mixed and mastered at all, a month later on April 1st, under a full moon. Back in 1963, Young played with his high school crew, The Squires. Only a couple instrumentals like Aurora surfaced back then on Rare Vinyl. Later on, his archives box set. These new finds might be solo demos or more. Another stuff, who knows, but fans are buzzing. Young went dual masters this time.

1:01One pure analog for that deep life sound. One high res digital as a close second. He wants everyone to compare and feel the difference, like museum quality vinyl from his early days. No title yet, maybe second song. Canceled that Europe tour this summer to focus, but he promises he'll hit the road everywhere soon. These records primed and Young's hyped get ready to dive in deep.
