Guided by Voices Compile Tracks From Rare EPs Into New Album 'Scalping the Guru' Read Our Feature: Neil Young Talks Wild New Film Paradox and Why Retirement Tours Are “Bullshit” The highlights are a loose acoustic version of the title track from 2016’s Peace Trail, a somber live recording of Rust Never Sleeps’ “Pocahontas,” a loose, Elvis-inspired take on Jimmy Reed’s “Baby, What You Want Me to Do?” and a 10-minute instrumental jam spinning out from Everybody Knows This is Nowhere‘s “Cowgirl in the Sand.” Betwixt and between are moments of spoken word, fleeting guitar impressions and some pleasant jams with Young’s current backing band, Promise of the Real.
It’s similar in some ways to Young’s 1996 soundtrack for Jim Jarmusch’s Dead Man, but has a bit more meat. The film Paradox, which stars Neil Young and was directed by Daryl Hannah, runs a gamut of themes from Westerns to sci-fi, and its soundtrack is similarly diverse, scattering a few morsels of melody amidst a medley of guitar zoodles.

Read Our Feature: Can Jack White Change His Stripes? “It’s his strangest record, but per usual, it shows his continued devotion to rock’s dark arts: the tangled cultural roots, ‘mistake’-enhanced recording traditions, self-righteous fury and fetchingly-deranged megalomania.” The new album from the rocker-turned mogul is a “messy, sprawling, daffy, howling set that sounds spiritually hungry, collectively driven and, instructively, a little bit lost,” writes Will Hermes.
