The next Beck album is due out in the summer, (July 15th could be the date) and it was produced by Danger Mouse.
I can not wait. Knowing Danger Mouse, I'm thinking we're going to see more rapping from Beck, but whatever it is, it'll be good. Anyone else excited for this release? EDIT: Will be released in 4-6 weeks, title is Modern Guilt. This message has been edited. Last edited by: anbc, |

As a huge Beck fan, this certainly intrigues me. I just read somewhere that Danger Mouse was announced as the producer since March but I had no idea. With his stellar work on The Black Keys' latest effort, it's shaping up to be a good year for Danger Mouse.
And it's cool that this will be released a few weeks after my birthday! Thanks for the heads up. ----- These days I'm so slow, all of these thoughts and nowhere to go. My aim it used to be so true, my world had a place in it, darling, just for you. |

Easily my most anticipated release of 2008. It will be interesting to see where Beck goes after The Information (which I thought was stellar).

I'm looking forward to a return to form for Beck. His best work usually involves clever genre bending, like Midnight Vultures and Mutations. I thought on The Information, he played it too straight up. Instead of the kitchy countrified rap of Loser, I thought most of The Information was played too close to hip-hop, and instead of being innovative, sounded like lazy white rap. Or, maybe I just missed the point on The Information. ________________ Caught between a generation dying from their habits and another thinking rock 'n roll is new. |

Well, my Beck CD list ranking shake down like this:
1. Odelay 2. Midnite Vultures 3. Sea Change 4. Guero 5. One Foot in the Grave 6. Mellow Gold 7. The Information 8. Mutations 9. Stereopathic Soulmanure So obviously I didn't enjoy the Beck of The Information as much either, but I thought the first 11 tracks on it were all solid, and after that, I lost interest, and usually just stop the CD and change it up. A return to the Odelay Beck would be awesome...I think Danger Mouse could definitely bring that Beck back out. |

Glad to see Sea Change so high on your list anbc. That is one fantastic album, by any measure, but especially for it's self-contain... edness. Great album to get lost in for a week if you're (a) living in a big city for the first time, or (b) bummed as hell.

A new Beck album is always reason to celebrate. Anyone confirm the July 15 release date?

New Beck song released called "Chemtrails".
Check it out on Beck.com I love the bassline and the drums are awesome. Vocals are definitely different. |

Thank you. Thank you for going back and editing the original title. Thank you for not creating a new, pointless thread when you already created this one. Thank you for keeping us updated and for posting neat tidbits here and there. Thank you, it's greatly appreciated.
I will check out the song when I get back home. For now, I am off to buy a sub! ----- These days I'm so slow, all of these thoughts and nowhere to go. My aim it used to be so true, my world had a place in it, darling, just for you. |

I haven't heard much from Beck, but it seems that with 'Chemtrails' he took some hints from the 'Broken Drum' Boards of Canada remix, which sounds very similar with the big drums and mellow vocals.
That being said the song currently has me in awe and is probably the best song I've heard this year. Wow. Does his older stuff sound like this? Because if it does I have some digging to do. |

I just checked out this track and nearly peed my shorts. It's pretty amazing and not at all like what I'm used to hearing from the man. Honestly, I'm sort of concerned that with the duo of Beck and Dangermouse and this leaked song, I may be setting myself up for a letdown or I may simply be creating far too high expectations. Regardless, I can't wait for the album.

Nope, this is a totally new style for Beck. He's done so much other crazy stuff though, there's bound to be some other style he's done that you enjoy...perhaps his stuff on Sea Change or Mutations. |

i want to be optimistic, but its been a while since i have loved a beck album. i will save my pre-album release giddiness for sigur ros, as beck has let me down too often with his recent releases.

You can never say whether a song sounds like old Beck, because every Beck album sounds different: Odelay - kind of a mix between folk rock, alt country, and electronic (I was having trouble classifying this one - any suggestions?) Midnight Vultures - kind of a cross between 70s funk and psychedelic rock Mutations - early rock/blues with a more modern twist Sea Change - straight up folk rock for the broken hearted Guero - sort of an urban latin feel to it The Information - heavy hip-hop influences This song has more of a psychedelic feel to it, so probably the closest would be Midnight Vultures. I really enjoyed this single. I agree with krug - I was let down by both Guero and The Information. After hearing this single, though, I'm cautiously optimistic for the new album. ________________ Caught between a generation dying from their habits and another thinking rock 'n roll is new. |
