BECK Blues traveller, rock god, folk hero, popper, locker and funk soul brother...and of course sexxy MF. That’s Beck. With a well deserved reputation for boundary breaking - from the early 90’s anthem ‘Loser’ to the sub club humidity of Tropicallia Beck has always been one step ahead of the pack. His releases have always been the subject of great anticipation, especially true since the release of the low-key Mutations. Beck’s new album ‘Midnite Vultures’ was released on Geffen on November 15th.

One album, 11 tracks, a million ideas - Beck is back with what is already being described as his best album yet.

Described by Beck as 'an album for the millennium', it’s his way of winding up the loose ends of the past hundred years of music. While the ghosts of previous incarnations hide in the shadows, Midnite Vultures echoes with the sound of early electro, Motown soul and Memphis funk.

Opening track and first single Sexx Laws (released November 1st) is filled with horns, banjo’s and slide guitar and sets the scene for another synaps-firing trip through the mind of Beck. Get Real Paid is pure electro - bursting with 808 squawks and beats, it’s a dancefloor classic in the making, while Milk and Honey, with its guitar riff of huge proportions was born to grace the stages of stadiums around the world.

Closing track Debra, a track that has been a staple of Beck’s live performances in the past, brings the album to a close - the bleeding heart of the man ripped from his soul. If there’s pain in art, then Beck is screaming.
