Beck Confirms First New Album In 7 Years ‘Ride Lonesome’ & Shares ‘In The Night’ Single

Beck is back with a new album, Ride Lonesome, on September 18 via Capitol Records. Following the release of the title track, the acclaimed singer-songwriter today shared “In The Night” as the album’s second preview.

Ride Lonesome marks Beck’s first album of new material in seven years since his 2019 album, Hyperspace. The new record saw Beck reconvening with the musicians he worked with on his previous ballad-focused albums Sea Change (2002) and Morning Phase (2015).

Beck also teamed back up with renowned producer Nigel Godrich (Radiohead, Paul McCartney), who produced Sea Change. Beck spoke about tracking the album at his favorite Los Angeles studio and more in a statement:

“My new album Ride Lonesome is coming out this fall. The musicians from my original touring and recording band that I recorded Sea Change, Morning Phase and Mutations with — Smokey Hormel, Joey Waronker, Justin Meldal-Johnsen, Roger Joseph Manning Jr., and Jason Falkner— reconvened with me at my favorite studio (Room B at United Studios in Hollywood). We had Nigel Godrich, who worked on Sea Change and Mutations with us mixing all the songs. It had been a decade since we went in the studio and recorded Morning Phase. This time it felt like the playing and the chemistry had evolved and deepened— a sound that’s come together over the decades of working together.

“While we were revisiting a musical and physical place, it also felt like we were finding new sounds and emotional textures along the way.”

The latest Ride Lonesome single, “In The Night,” arrived with a music video directed by Mikai Karl, produced by Ryan Smale and starring Denis Lavant (Beau Travail, Mauvais Sang). Watch below:
