Americana

Neil Young

Classic American folk songs reimagined through a wall of distorted electric guitars and heavy, sludge-rock rhythms. Raw, unpolished, and unexpectedly dark.

It's like your favorite childhood songs got run over by a very loud, very distorted truck.

A heavy, distorted reclamation of American history that feels both ancient and aggressively modern.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The heavy, lumbering groove of Clementine that turns a children's song into a funeral march.
The feedback-drenched guitar solo in Tom Dula that stretches the murder ballad into an eight-minute epic.
The jarringly upbeat but ragged vocal harmonies on Get a Job that break the album's dark tension.
