Here’s a deep dive into beck’s essential listens, the albums worth of a revisit and the cuts best left for the diehards to mull over
, which was billed upon its release as a companion to the wistful, is a masterstroke in down-tempo cinematic folk-rock that, perhaps more so than any other Beck release, bleeds into a listeners’ psyche, flooding it with serenity and warmth.
It’s worth noting Beck’s restricted vocal style here: all that half-whispering was due in part to spinal injury suffered during a 2005 music video shoot, which hindered him in the studio. This record is Beck’s first and only collaboration with producer and fellow sonic weirdo Danger Mouse, he of Beatles/Jay-Z mashupnotoriety back then. Together the duo wove together a project that plays more like a bridge record than the last album Beck would release for six years.
There’s some meat here, too; “Dear Life” is the Monday ballad of a man just barely scraping by, and “Fix You” is a haunting outlier, as Beck proclaims, “I don't mind / If the sea / Washes over the city tonight.” Still,is a party record. Treat it as such and you’ll be dancing before the opening title track finishes .
The new record, co-produced by Pharrell Williams, is defined by a handful of exciting, collaborative moments — particularly a pair of ethereal backing vocals courtesy of Sky Ferreira and Coldplay’s Chris Martin . Butin that it digs its heels in the pop turf and refuses to budge. Williams’ minimalistic production approach is an interesting foil to Beck’s go-for-broke styling, which is deliberately reeled in throughout this mid-tempo record, which doesn’t bounce quite as hard as its predecessor.
