Beck’s new album Modern Guilt, produced with Danger Mouse, will be released on July 7th on XL Recordings.
The new album contains 10 new songs, and with the exception of last year’s Grammy-nominated, digital-only single ‘Timebomb’, Modern Guilt is the first new material Beck has written since the prolific stretch that produced 2005′s Guero and 2006′s universally acclaimed The Information.
Modern Guilt is a tightly assembled group of songs that range in lyrical tone from introspection and social commentary to off the cuff wordplay and lighthearted humor. Musically, the album’s ten tracks vacillate between economy and experimentation, hybrid and pop classicism, while consistently manifesting Beck and Danger Mouse’s shared interest in psych-rock, folk, electronic minimalism and orchestration. At least that’s what the press release says…
The complete track listing for Modern Guilt is:
Orphans
Gamma Ray
Chemtrails
Modern Guilt
Youthless
Walls
Replica
Soul of A Man
Profanity Prayers
Volcano
Beck is due to embark on a European tour at the end of the month and will play the following UK shows:
Tuesday 1st July – Southampton Guildhall
Wednesday 2nd July – Manchester Apollo
Friday 4th July – London Wireless Festival
