Neil Young & THE CHROME HEARTS Announce New Album SECOND SONG

Neil Young and THE CHROME HEARTS will release SECOND SONG, their second studio album together, via Reprise Records. The seven-track collection was recorded in analog at Shangri-La Studios in Malibu, California, and produced by Lou Adler and The Volume Dealers, the production name for Young and Niko Bolas.

SECOND SONG is set for release on September 18th. SECOND SONG features seven songs written by Young, five of which are previously unreleased, and two of which are unreleased versions ('Casting Me Away From You' and 'I'll Love You Forever'). The mostly acoustic song cycle recalls a wistful, deeply personal musical kinship to some of Young's earlier works found on 'Comes A Time' or 'Prairie Wind'.

With his band The Chrome Hearts, Neil Young is on the path of discovery once more, with new players in the aggregation. The Chrome Hearts includes drummer Anthony LeGerfo, bassist Corey McCormick, guitarist Micah Nelson and longtime legend Spooner Oldham on keyboards.

SECOND SONG opens a new door, again, for Young. The lyrics of the title song lead the way: 'Through smoking leaves of time the words just tumbled forward in this second song of mine...'
