Le Noise is a collaboration between Neil Young and musician, songwriter and producer Daniel Lanois, best known for his work with U2, Bob Dylan, Peter Gabriel, Brian Eno, Emmylou Harris, Willie Nelson, The Neville Brothers and many others.
Recorded at Lanois’ home studio in Silverlake, Los Angeles, Le Noise features Young playing acoustic and electric guitars with the addition of Lanois signature sonic textures, creating one of the most sonically exciting albums Young has ever recorded. No band, no additional recordings, just “the man on the bench and me doing a good job during the recording process”, as Lanois puts it.
