Morning Phase (2 versions)
Type: Album
 
     
   
 Beck is releasing Morning Phase in February 2014.

It is called a "companion" to Sea Change, and was recorded with that same band (but Beck produced this one). The press release somewhat breathlessly says it "harkens back to the stunning harmonies, song craft and staggering emotional impact of Sea Change, while surging forward with infectious optimism."

Three songs ("Blackbird Chain," "Waking Light" and "Country Down") were begun during Beck's now-mostly-abandoned Nashville album (and possibly "Say Goodbye" too). "Evil Things" was initially announced as on the album (and actually given to reviewers) but it seems at the last moment it was removed.
