The legendary Neil Young has a new album just around the corner. It will be called Le Noise, which is reportedly a wink to his Quebec-born Canadian producer Daniel Lanois. It will be released by the end of the month, currently slated for Tuesday 28 September internationally.

Recorded in Lanois' home in the Silverlake area of Los Angeles, Le Noise features Young on acoustic and electric guitars with Lanois adding his trademark sonic textures. No band, no overdubs, just "a man on a stool and me doing a nice job on the recording," Lanois described in a recent press release.

"Neil was so appreciative of the sonics that we presented to him," Lanois continued. "He walked in the door and I put an acoustic guitar into his hands, one that I had been working on to build a new sound. I wanted him to understand that I've spent years dedicated to the sonics in my home and that I wanted to give him something he'd never heard before.

Le Noise will be released in several formats, including a deluxe CD/DVD. The DVD portion, shot by cinematographer Adam Vollick, will feature eight black and white films of Young performing each song solo on acoustic and electric guitar live in the studio.

In November, Reprise will also release a Blu-Ray edition.
