Released on June 15, 2025, โAggenAnonAggen Pt.2โ by the Neil C. Young Trio is a beautifully introspective offering that stands apart from the trioโs usual electric-fusion leanings. Featured on the forthcoming EP AggenAnonAggen, this version trades in heavy FX for acoustic warmth, grounding the track in folk textures and spiritual nostalgia.
What began as a sync brief has evolved into something far more personal for Young, and you can hear it in every note. The song opens with gentle, deliberate acoustic guitar plucking. Then Katie Smethurstโs delicate voice enters like mist over still water, gliding in harmony with Youngโs subtle vocal textures and airy, layered strings. Behind them, Miguel Boletaโs rustling percussion stirs quietly, while Dave Murrayโs bass brings a mellow pulse. The trio, joined remotely from various parts of North West England, conjures an quiet, spacious atmosphere of shared reflection, full of longing.
As the track progresses, the pace lifts ever so slightly, with drums beginning to sparkle and flutter like footsteps on damp leaves. The guitar becomes brighter, its plucks more curious and playful, bringing a grounding and hopeful warmth. With no long improvised solos, the spotlight remains on the melody. The spiritual current running underneath it all evokes epiphanies you donโt notice until theyโve passed. Inspired in part by Neilโs arrangement of Bob Dylanโs โWigwam,โ the song also carries echoes of Jimmy Webbโs melodic sincerity.
โAggenAnonAggen Pt.2โ is one of three variations of the same track. Stay tuned to the artist to await the upcoming EP, AggenAnonAggen.
