Awesome Beck

Neil Young’s Harvest is one of the greatest albums ever recorded. Among its tracks is Old Man, a song about a man who achieves success at a much younger age than usual. Like Young, Beck had his first big hit at age 23, so the song is a perfect fit for the multitalented alt-rock musician.

There I Ruined It is back to mess with another classic tune, transforming Beck’s 1994 hit Loser into a twangy Bluegrass tune best suited to square dancing. Kill the headlights and put it in neutral! Now Do-si-do and Promenade!

Paul McCartney gets gracefully de-aged in the imaginative music video for the song Find My Way, a track which truly sounds like equal parts McCartney and Beck. We’re not sure Macca ever had those dance moves even when he was younger. Directed by Andrew Donoho, co-produced by digital avatar maker Hyperreal Digital.

We’ve been grooving to the Gorillaz album Song Machine, Season One since it dropped, and their team-up with Beck on The Valley of the Pagans is one of our favorite tracks. Now, we have the official music video, which just happens to have been created in Grand Theft Auto V.

The music video for Beck’s track Colors was initially only available for Apple Music subscribers. Now everyone can watch it for free on YouTube. Edgar Wright’s vibrant and perfectly edited clip features choreography by Ryan Heffington, and co-stars Alison Brie.

Get loose… with the luminous moose! Beck’s new single marks a return to Odelay form of sorts. It’s smooth and creamy blend of slow jam and catchy funk track that could also double as Owen Wilson’s theme song. The new album drops 10/21/16.

Beck teamed up with The Chemical Brothers provide the soothing vocals on their ’80s tinged synth track, accompanied by a minimal, yet visually stunning music video by directors Dom & Nic, with visual effects by The Mill. From the album Born in the Echoes.

Our friend Greg Johnson of Acoustic Labs finally shows his face, turning in a hypnotic, asian-tinged rendition of Beck’s track Wave, off of the artist’s Grammy winning album Morning Phase. He was approached by Beck’s people to create the cover.

It takes a while to load, but it’s worth it. This 360-degree interactive version of David Bowie’s Sound and Vision was created by artist Chris Milk and performed by Beck. You’ll need headphones and a webcam for the full experience.

Artist/Musician/Renaissance-man Beck Hansen puts his own inimitable spin on INXS’ classics New Sensation and Devil Inside as part of his oh-so-awesome Record Club studio project.
