An expert in rooting through his archives, Neil Young has now pulled an unreleased studio album recorded in 2001 out of his hat. The album was recorded at Toast Studios in San Francisco with his band Crazy Horse. His fans will have heard him allude to this session, though no one could know for sure if it existed. He said once that 'the music of Toast is about a relationship... there is a time in many relationships that go bad, a time long before the breakup, where it dawns on one of the people, maybe both, that it's over... this was that time.” It was this deep sadness that ultimately pushed the Canadian to bury these tapes which have now finally resurfaced. Two decades later, it’s a treat to experience what had been hidden for so long. Some of the tracks, especially the opening 'Quit', are nothing if not catchy. 'Toast' also further attests to the power of Crazy Horse (featuring Frank "Poncho" Sampedro on guitar, Ralph Molina on drums and Billy Talbot on bass) whose electric guitar causes sparks to fly on 'Standing in the Light of Love'. They know how to pace themselves during electric-fuelled marathons—case in point, the 13-minute long 'Boom Boom Boom'—like no other Neil Young band. While some of these tracks, like 'Standing in the Light of Love', 'Timberline' and 'Gateway of Love', would never have been released, others, such as 'Goin’ Home', would later appear on his 2002 album, Are You Passionate?. It turns out that Toast isn’t just the stuff of dreams. © Marc Zisman/Qobuz
