LET'S DANCE!
A new Beck album has been recorded, awaits mixing and is expected to hit the stores in October. Featuring the production prowess of The Dust Brothers (Mike Simpson and John King, who worked on 1996's Odelay and 1999's Midnite
Vultures), it promises to be a definite departure from Beck's last release "Sea Change." The yet untitled album has been described as "danceable." We can't wait.
UPDATE: Although it was originally scheduled for an October 26 release, Beck has pushed back his yet-untitled new album until 2005, according to his publicist.
