I got what I expected, which was more music with that raw, dirty sound of Loser in the albums Mellow Gold (1994) and Odelay (1997). I took the time to properly immerse myself in Beck’s discography between 20. So I’ve always found it kind of shame that most people do not have the curiosity to check out the rest of his discography. Loser would have been the quintessential anthem of Gen X if it wern’t for some other scruffy, long-haired blonde lad having the most influential hit of the 90s just two years earlier.
#Beck hyperspace review movie#
Loser is such a bizarre track: gibberish lyrics, folky guitar, gibberish lyrics, warm bass warbles, gibberish lyrics, drum sample, gibberish lyrics, samples of movie quotes and gibberish lyrics are just some of the elements which make Loser stand out. Most people only know Beck through his hit Loser from 1993, which is an excellent track in its own right. There’s also an abridged version of that if you’re short of time.īeck is one of my all-time favourite artists, probably in my personal top 5 that I haven’t thought through yet. The listen-along is a genuine recording of my first reaction to the album, that you can play alongside the album for a super-interactive experience. The first is a text review, which you’re reading right now, and the second is the listen-along. On the off-chance that this is your first time reading one of my reviews, there’s two parts to them. Today, I’m shaking up my First Listen Reviews formula: I’m actually listening to an album that hasn’t already existed for over 20 years. It’s a pity, really, I have fun writing, so I’m taking a quick break to write about… marketing? Nah, my uni life is making that topic a little too ubiquitous… So let’s make more music-related content, despite it not doing as well as my marketing content! How could I call myself a marketer, I know what my consumers want, yet give them what they don’t? I did start this blog with the idea of posting one or two pieces a week, but knew deep down that once assignment season loomed, I’d have less time for the blog.

As well as the red vinyl listed in the widget below, Rough Trade uk also have a special metallic silver vinyl edition (there’s no red vinyl in the USA). Hyperspace will be released on 22 November 2019. Good to see some excellent cover art – for a change – on a new album! You can preview Uneventful Days above to get a feeling for the new sound of Hyperspace. (Jason and Roger being half of the original Jellyfish line-up) feature on much of the album as well. Longtime Beck bandmates Jason Falkner, Smokey Hormel and Roger Manning Jr. Chris Martin and Sky Ferreira contribute backing vocals on a track apiece (‘Star’ and ‘Die Waiting’ respectively) and Greg Kurstin gets a writing credit on See Through, suggesting it dates from the Colors sessions. Hyperspace is Beck’s 14th album (he still hasn’t issued any kind of ‘best of’) and he has co-produced much of the record with Pharrell Williams (who has also co-written some tracks). Beck follows up 2017’s brilliant Colors with a new album Hyperspace, due in November.
