"Angry World" was the first track to be released from Le Noise.[1] The song, like the rest of the album, was recorded in the Los Angeles home of producer Daniel Lanois.[2] Unaccompanied by other musicians, Young's vocals, described as "howl[ing] venom",[3] are mixed high above his guitar.[2] There is a "buzz and crackle"[1] to his "fuzzed-out"[4] electric guitar and a loop of the word 'angry'[5] as background noise throughout the song.[6] Young delivered the incomplete track to Lanois, who built the arrangement out of what was given to him.[2]


Video


The video for "Angry World" was released on September 14, 2010, on stereogum.com,[7] two weeks prior to the September 28 release of the album, Le Noise.[8] It was shot in black-and-white[9] in the home of producer Daniel Lanois by Adam CK Vollick.[10] It contains a montage of images including Young performing and shots of belly dancers.[1]


Grammy Award


This is my first Grammy for music. I'd like to thank my lovely wife, Pegi. She's been with me for 33⅓ years of marriage, keeping me rocking.

From Neil Young's Grammy acceptance speech.[11]

In February 2011 "Angry World" won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Song.[12] The other nominees were "Tighten Up" by The Black Keys, "Radioactive" by Kings of Leon, "Little Lion Man" by Mumford & Sons, and "Resistance" by Muse.[13] It was also nominated for Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance[14] but lost to Paul McCartney's live version of "Helter Skelter" from Good Evening New York City.[15]

Despite more than 40 years as a recording artist, 31 studio albums and eleven nominations since 2006, the Grammy was the first awarded to Young as a musician.[16] His previous win, Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package, was in 2010 for his art direction for The Archives Vol. 1 1963–1972.[16][17][18]
