The veteran Canadian rocker’s new studio set Storytone will arrive Nov. 4 in the U.S. via Reprise Records. For the full listening experience, the recording will spill over onto two discs — a solo effort, and its counterpart recorded with a 92-piece orchestra and choir.
Storytone was produced by The Volume Dealers (Neil Young and Niko Bolas), recorded and mixed by Al Schmitt with additional co-production, arrangements, orchestration, and conducted by Michael Bearden and Chris Walden.
Young “took a different approach with this record,” according to a statement, “first recording the songs on his own in a solo-setting, then creating compelling versions of the songs in a new light with an orchestra and big band, resulting in a deeply-personal emotional listening experience throughout the new record.”
