Harvest Moon

Neil Young wrote "Harvest Moon", the first single from his 1992 album of the same name, released on Reprise on November 2, 1992 and recorded on September 22, 1991 at Redwood Digital, with Linda Ronstadt on backing vocals; it reached 36 in the UK. Poolside's cover came out in 2011 and appears on Pacific Standard Time in 2012. A search summary of KCRW from November 2011 says it was recorded as a fan treat while finishing the album and that the band made it very different so as not to compete with the original, which we could not check against the page. A review in Space of Sound in 2025 describes a beat from the start, bass lines and a muted vocal from Nikolic that opens up in the chorus over about six minutes, always on the verge of exploding; synth layers replace the harmonica solo.

MusicBrainz lists a 6:09 recording and instrumental, and remixes by Roosevelt, Vandelux, Satin Jackets and the Album Leaf. Cover Me ranked it 20th among the best Neil Young covers on January 31, 2019, calling it a worthy cover, though we lose the nostalgia of the original. Wikipedia says LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy often plays it in DJ sets, citing a Pitchfork piece we could not open. We found no setlist.fm count, video or samples, and could not tell which version our upload is.
