Neil Young & Crazy Horse return on October 30th with their second LP of the year, Psychedelic Pill, but first comes a four-and-a-half-minute radio edit of the LP’s epic closing track, “Walk Like a Giant.” Even in truncated form, it’s soon clear another classic Crazy Horse record is on the way here, complete with a borderline “Like A Hurricane”-style chorus and Young’s inimitably unhinged guitar work. Starting at 3:45, what will become a dozen more minutes of fuzzed-out guitar and feedback soloing takes flight before it fades out all too soon. If you’re pining to hear more, there’s always that live bootleg jam to compensate. Otherwise, stream it with Bigfoot, Einstein, and some psychedelic fractals in the official video above.
