Beck.

[mansize rooster]

New single to come out on third man records (jack white's label)
There are a few samples available on the third man site.

Very hopefull that these sessions beck did with JW will make a full LP and that these 2 new songs are just teasers..

Beck has not had an LP out since modern guilt (2008)
But has been busy with plenty of soundtrack songs or producing. Or that record club album covers thing.

The samples are short but there seems to be a real relaxed country vibe to them. Sounds very loose and the humour seems to be back, something that has been lacking from his stuff in a while. We could get an album similar in vibe to mutations (one of his most underrated and strongest imo)

so yeah, super happy that one of my fav artists of all time is back

 

[Zuma]

I like the one with Sexx Laws on it, y'know

Harvest Fest.
I hope he will play new stuff for this..

any news on sideshows?

 

[La Dispute]

Where is the place to start with Beck?

I think I might have Odelay on the computer and maybe another one.

 

[mansize rooster]

Yeah odelay would be a good place to start.

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

His high point was the B-Side to Loser called 'MTV Makes we want to smoke Crack'. Swinging little number. Too bad he's a scientologist.

 

[UpForGrabs]

Definitely prefer the Mutations and Sea Change side to Beck than the Odelay side.

I realise I may be in the minorty on this one though.

high point, really???
you avin a laff?

not really actually.
plenty of fans rate both albums. mutations being extremely underrated (he pretty much ignores it live..which is strange)

Top Level
Midnite Vultures/Sea Change/Mutations/Odelay/The Information

The information has really grown on me since it was released. Songs like Movie Theme, Strange Apparition and the epic The Horrible Fanfare/Landslide/Exoskeleton are some of his best stuff.

 

[mansize rooster]

Mutations is the bollocks!
The last time beck knocked something out real quick.
its loose and raw but the songwriting is A Grade

No, I'm with you. Mutations is a gem, and Sea Change is a great "poor me, I busted up with my girl" album.

One of the very best. And I'm not a massively huge fan of the guy. That album is the balls.

Loved his 'Record Club' series as well.

And as for this....



Could be the best thing he's ever done.

Controversial, I know

 

[mansize rooster]

These two new one of singles sound like nothing else in Beck's cannon. Which is pretty damn exciting.

 

[JD11]

They both sound like follow ups to Modern Guilt, which is basically what they are.

 

[james Dean]

I'm a fan of Beck's music and all, but does anyone else get the impression he's a pretentious w***er?

 

[JD11]

I'm a fan of Beck's music and all, but does anyone else get the impression he's a pretentious Moo?

Oh, clearly. Didn't he release sheet music last year??

 

[off kilter]

HA! I used to love Beck up until midnite vultures, sea change made me excited and then flatliners.....
an under appreciated artist and musician of his time that ****ed himself up with wanting to much pop for his weasel. truely do love mellow gold and odelay, under apreciated albums.

 

[JD11]

listening to modern guilt right now, i love that album.
