Neil Young fans rest assured - there was no autotune used in the making of The Monsanto Years, a new album he recorded with Willie Nelson's sons Lukas and Micah.

The record, which features protest songs against controversial agricultural company Monsanto, will be released on June 16.

Monsanto is a company that Young has been publicly battling against for years.

The singer boycotted Starbucks last year over the coffee company's involvement with Monsanto in a lawsuit against the state of Vermont's new requirements to label genetically modified ingredients.

Pitchfork reports that Young will also release a documentary film about the making of the record alongside the LP.

A screening of a "work in progress" version of the unfinished documentary recently aired in New York, with Young prefacing the event by saying "No auto tune or vocal booths were used, and no ears were harmed in the making of this record."
