Beck - Two new albums in the works.

[Danny Boy]

An acoustic album in the fall and a "proper follow-up" to Modern Guilt soon thereafter. He's also posted a standalone single online which won't be on either album.

Wow! Just heard this. Very fresh sounding. Amazing it won't be on an album.

I'm shitty with finding leaks, could anyone be kind enough to direct me to one?

 

[LemonMelon]

I'm streaming this off of songs.to myself, but it's on the usual torrent suspects if you want to carry the album around with you.

 

[djerdap]

Always go to AtEase (Radiohead message board) for leaks. Or the exystence.net blog.

Is there a link for the stream?

Bestest news of the week.

 

[Lancemc]

Oh shit, gotta listen

 

[Lancemc]

Man, that was nice.

The Sea Changes influences are all over this thing, and yet it sounds less melancholy. I like it a great deal upon my first listen.

 

[purpleoscar]

First listen was quite good. It has similar beats and markers to Sea Change but it's own flavor. I really love the Nashville songs at the end of the album. There's definitely some Bob Dylan and Let it Be Beatles at the end. I like all the tracks. Blackbird Chain was probably the most interesting weird one. It was worth the 6 year wait (if you don't count Song Reader).

 

[bono_212]

There is a video of me out there, somewhere, attempting to play music from Song Reader on an Irish Tin Whistle #funfacts

 

[purpleoscar]

Is there a version out there worth listening to?

 

[bono_212]

I haven't really looked, I just have the sheet music, but haven't had the time to screw around with it and my keyboard much.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I like this a lot so far, not quite on the same level of Sea Change but pretty close...

 

[purpleoscar]

Pitchfork 6.8/10. Pitchfork needs a pitchfork up the ass. I'll be buying this 96/24 at hdtracks.com I would give this at least 8.5/10

 

[lazarus]

Did you read the actual review? I'd like to hear if their actual criticisms have merit beyond the score itself, which often seems arbitrary.
