Le Noise is the thirty-first studio album by Canadian musician Neil Young, released on September 28, 2010. The album was recorded in Los Angeles and produced by Daniel Lanois,[8] hence the titular pun (although "Lanois" is pronounced "Lan-wha"). Lanois stated in an interview with Rolling Stone that "We cut a couple of solo acoustic songs, but the rest is very electric" and "There's no band, but I got in there with my sonics."[9] On August 20, Young posted to Facebook the release date for different formats (including BD and an app for iPhone and iPad) and revealed that it would be a solo album.[10] A music video for the track "Angry World" was premiered on September 14, 2010.[11] A music video for "Hitchhiker" was also premiered on September 17, 2010.[12] The video for "Love And War" was released on September 20, 2010 and the video for "Walk With Me" on September 22, 2010.[13][14] The track "Angry World" won a Grammy Award for Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance.[15]

The album was placed 2nd on the Canadian Albums Chart, selling over 10,000 copies in the first week of release.[16]
