Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts shape the studio project

Second Song is the second studio effort credited to Young and the Chrome Hearts. The listed band line-up brings together drummer Anthony LoGerfo, bassist Corey McCormick, guitarist Micah Nelson and keyboard player Spooner Oldham.

Young, Niko Bolas and Lou Adler are credited with production, while the recording took place at Rick Rubin’s Shangri-La Studios in Malibu. That combination places the physical edition within an ongoing band project rather than presenting it as an unrelated catalogue item.

New and early material meet on Second Song

The collection combines five previously unreleased songs with two new recordings of songs Young wrote as a teenager. That structure connects newly completed material with the songwriter’s early catalogue without separating it from the Chrome Hearts setting.

An NPR album discussion describes the project as a reflective studio record made with the Chrome Hearts. The project was captured in analogue and high-resolution digital forms, matching the album’s range of physical and digital options.
