So, I thought I’d try to sum up for everyone what we know to expect from Beck over the next little while.\u00c2\u00a0 Keep in mind, I only know what I read and hear, and Beck’s whims are subject to change (and expect them to!).\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
As usual, as Guero<\/em> played out, there was talk of other albums in the queue.\u00c2\u00a0 The one that sounds the most finished, the most likely to be released, is an apparent third album recorded with Nigel Godrich (producer of Mutations<\/em> and Sea Change<\/em>).\u00c2\u00a0 The old version of Beck.com mentioned that a few of the songs Beck played live last February, but were not on Guero<\/em>, were recorded for this album: the very hiphoppy\u00c2\u00a0“One, Two” and “Knock Out.”\u00c2\u00a0 You can read more of this at the Diskolito<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 Also keep in mind, Nigel did that kick-ass “Christian Dior Theme” with Beck too.\u00c2\u00a0 So it does not appear that Beck & Nigel are doing the folky thing together anymore!\u00c2\u00a0 As Diskolito notes, it’s more of a band record than Guero<\/em> was too.\u00c2\u00a0 Brian LeBarton, Beck’s keyboardist, mentioned on his website<\/a> in August 2005 that he had recorded with Beck and Nigel.\u00c2\u00a0 So it sounds like this project was stretched out over at least the first half of 2005 (when Beck wasn’t touring).\u00c2\u00a0 I would hope this finds its way to release in 2006.<\/p>\n More recently, in November and December\u00c2\u00a0of 2005, Beck seems to have gone back into the studio for some fun.\u00c2\u00a0 Brian LeBarton again posted before they started that it was going to be “fun-filled experimentation” with I’m assuming was the rest of the live band.\u00c2\u00a0 Beck’s old friend and bassist and musical director, Justin Meldal-Johnsen, though was also involved according to his website<\/a> for at least a week of recording in December.\u00c2\u00a0 Justin described the sessions as “random stuff,” with lots of “style hopping and ludicrous enthusiasm.”\u00c2\u00a0 What more could we want?\u00c2\u00a0 As Brian called it, they did some “mad crazy recording.”\u00c2\u00a0 Some of this ended up on Beck.com (“Sorrow,” “Day For Night,” “Untitled Song 2,” “Premonition” and the Nick Drake covers), but\u00c2\u00a0there is also “some other top secret shit that is just amazing and will in one form another hopefully come upon your ears at some point.”<\/p>\n So I think we’ve got very likely two possibilities leading the way: a Nigel Godrich record and this “top secret shit.”\u00c2\u00a0 I do not really expect any more Guero<\/em> singles… so bring\u00c2\u00a0some new albums\u00c2\u00a0on!<\/p>\n Also, at the moment, there’s some rumors of a spring tour in the US, but that’s all they are right now.\u00c2\u00a0 We should know soon about that.<\/p>\n – Vin (Ghost)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So, I thought I’d try to sum up for everyone what we know to expect from Beck over the next little while.\u00c2\u00a0 Keep in mind, I only know what I read and hear, and Beck’s whims are subject to change (and expect them to!).\u00c2\u00a0 As usual, as Guero played out, there was talk of other […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-beck"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/whiskeyclone.net\/papertiger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/whiskeyclone.net\/papertiger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/whiskeyclone.net\/papertiger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/whiskeyclone.net\/papertiger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/whiskeyclone.net\/papertiger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/whiskeyclone.net\/papertiger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/whiskeyclone.net\/papertiger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/whiskeyclone.net\/papertiger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/whiskeyclone.net\/papertiger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
