Beck Wows Us

2016-06-03 by Cyan isn't a shade of blue. | 36 Comments
Beck has released a new single entitled "Wow" today. The song stylistically draws from modern hip hop, which is a huge contrast from his previous chamber pop album Morning Phase. "Wow" has been confirmed to be on Beck's upcoming album (which will be released October 21st and has yet to be titled.)

I think it's really good honestly. A bit poppy though, but so was that single "Dreams" from last year. I think he's trying to do pop for his next album and I don't disapprove.

Yeah, that was bad. How in the world do you release such a great record that was 'Morning Phase' and follow it up with this? I know it's Beck, but still.

No offense Anthracks, but I don't think you know what you're talking about.

You're trying to tell me that the guy who brought us these 2 songs isn't actually quirky?:

"quirky music for people who don't like music that's actually quirky"

i would say that Odelay, Midnite Vultures, and Guero all fall under "actually quirky"

anthracks is right for once.

@YetAnotherBrick: Don't forget Mellow Gold.


But duh, this song is barely quirky. It's Beck doing pop.

this is like beck tried to make the most generic indie summer jam, but because its beck the song still came out a little quirky

Kinda reminds me of when he went from Sea Change to Guero far as tone goes. Not musically, cause Guero was completely different to this. I'm pretty interested in this, though, even though it's kinda weird hearing someone who's nearly 46 doing this kind of sound.

After a couple of spins it's one of the years best. Absolute magic. Love the pissing in the wind bit of the vid as well :D

I'm digging this, even if I'm getting more than a little M83 'Do It, Try It' vibe from the mid-section.
But then I think I'm the only person on here who liked that track so...

If Beck had an album cycle of 1 folky album and 1 weird album I'd be happy.

"this isn't quirky at all tbh.

broad judgement of the entire 20+ year career of an artist known for experimenting with different sounds just from his latest single 10/10 logic

I wonder if Dreams is going to be on the new album too, I wouldn't mind honestly.
