Beck has shared another new single, ‘Disappearing Act’ – you can listen to it below.
READ MORE: The NME Big Read – Beck: “Was the ’90s a golden time for rock music? It was more like tarnished brass”.
The song is the latest preview of the singer-songwriter’s 15th studio album, ‘Ride Lonesome’, which is released on September 18 via Capitol.
In the ethereal acoustic track, Beck brings the listener into a tranquil world as he bathes in the evening sun. The musician produced the cut, with longtime Radiohead collaborator Nigel Godrich on mixing duties.
The record sees Beck make a nod to his folksy, stripped-back acoustic album ‘Morning Phase’ (2014) and his seminal 2002 LP ‘Sea Change’ – with him reuniting with the original touring and recording band he worked with on those records.
In a previous statement, he said: “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’ [1998] with – Smokey Hormel, Joey Waronker, Justin Meldal-Johnsen, Roger Joseph Manning Jr., and Jason Falkner – reconvened with me at my favourite studio (Room B at United Studios in Hollywood).”.
Beck continued: “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.
