Beck

What do Danny Masterson, Erika Christensen, and Beck have in common? Getty Although raised into Scientology, musician Beck managed to keep his affiliation with L. Ron Hubbard's organization under wraps until around 2007, when speculation about the suicides of writer Theresa Duncan and artist companion Jeremy Blake began to make news.Both Duncan and Blake had ties to Beck: Blake designed the cover of Beck's 2002 album Sea Change, while Duncan had stated in 2003 that Beck was going to be in...Read Full Story

For a musical chameleon who has tackled every genre from bluegrass to rap, coming up with a new sound for Beck’s umpteenth album was going to be tricky. Teaming up with Gnarls Barkley’s DANGER MOUSE (aka Brian Burton), Modern Guilt is an album that shows a more mature BECK HANSEN who sings about climate change and refugees as opposed to jack-asses and soul suckin’ jerks. When Beck first burst on to the scene with his 1994 debut Mellow Gold, he instantly became a cult hero. Through mixing his...Read Full Story

“I’ve been walking on these streets so long, I don’t know where they’re going to lead anymore,” Beck sings on “Volcano”, the exquisite closing track to his potent, albeit abbreviated, new CD Modern Guilt. There are stretches on the album that echo those words – the melodies and vocals seem familiar, but at times the structures and rhythms feel like a wrong turn.Amplifying the techno/industrial motifs on 2006’s The Information, Beck here lets loose the percussion dogs. From the pulsing kick...Read Full Story

Beck Hansen (born Bek David Campbell, July 8, 1970) is an American musician, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Beck’s music is known for its pop-junk culture collage of musical styles, ironic lyrics, samples, drum machines, live instrumentation and heady sound effects. Beck was born in Los Angeles, California, to David Campbell (a musician and son of a Presbyterian minister) and Bibbe Hansen (a former dancer for The Velvet Underground, founding member of satirical band Black Fag...Read Full Story

Beck is epitome of cool. Just look at the sweet hat he’s been wearing! And if his golden locks aren’t enough indication, then his 10th studio album solidifies his spot in the Kingdom of Koolness. Modern Guilt is co-produced by producer/rodent extraordinaire Danger Mouse (The Grey Album, Gnarls Barkley, Gorillaz, The Black Keys, etc.) and his handiwork definitely shows. Characterized by a sonic edge that canoodles with 60’s psychedelica, Beck’s new tunes are a departure from the funky/pseudo...Read Full Story

7/10More so than any other musician of the last two decades, Beck Hansen has never been comfortable in his own skin... He is driven by an obsession to continually reinvent himself between albums and tours. It's a dilemma which has garnered him tags of 'the most idiosyncratic musician alive' and 'alternative', coupled with his challenging, engaging and occasionally perfect music.Beck- Modern Guilt (Link 2)'The Information', his last release, was deemed underwhelming and was unsurprisingly...Read Full Story

Beck Hansen (born Bek David Campbell, July 8, 1970) is an American musician, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Beck's music--with its pop-junk culture collage of musical styles, obtuse, ironic lyrics, and post-modern arrangements incorporating samples, drum machines, live instrumentation and heady sound effects--was among the most idiosyncratic of '90s alternative rock. Though his most popular albums were released in the 1990s, Beck continues to inspire fans well into the modern...Read Full Story

Rating: When reviewing a Beck record I think you come across some very difficult waters. The man is revered by so many, and at the same time, it’s become increasingly difficult to put a definition on his music. You have to respect that, yet at the same time, it’s not the easiest thing to write about. With this album, you have the uber-producer Danger Mouse aiding the production along the way. It’s kind of an odd step, and one that I was skeptical of - I’m not a DM kind of guy. That’s where...Read Full Story

There’s nothing to feel guilty about if you find yourself loving the new Beck album Modern Guilt because it really is a great album. The album kicks off with the ambient track “Orphans.” Combined with the haunting vocals of Cat Power and thought-provoking lyrics like “I stand beside myself so I’m not alone,” Beck sets a beautiful, but eery mood that lasts throughout the album. The airiness of the vocals, reminiscent of Radiohead, form a tension with the distorted effects and constantly...Read Full Story
