Beck Confirms Release Date for New Album Modern Guilt
 Beck |
Beck new album Modern Guilt, produced with Brian "Danger Mouse" Burton, will be released July 8 on DGC Records in North America and July 7 on XL Recordings in the U.K. and Europe.
The new album contains ten 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 platinum 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.
The complete track listing for Modern Guilt is:
1. Orphans
2. Gamma Ray
3. Chemtrails
4. Modern Guilt
5. Youthless
6. Walls
7. Replica
8. Soul of A Man
9. Profanity Prayers
10. Volcano
Beck is about to embark on a tour of the U.K. and Europe, followed by a number of U.S. headline and festival appearances, culminating in Beck's biggest hometown headline show to date, September 20 at the Hollywood Bowl.
