Beck’s Modern Guilt To Be Released On July 5

BECK - MODERN GUILT

Released July 5

Beck’s new album Modern Guilt, produced with Brian “Danger Mouse” Burton, will be released July 5.

The new album contains 10 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 light-hearted humour. 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:

Orphans

Gamma Ray

Chemtrails

Modern Guilt

Youthless

Walls

Replica

Soul of A Man

Profanity Prayers

Volcano

Beck is about to embark on a tour of the UK and Europe, followed by a number of US headline and festival appearances, culminating in Beck’s biggest hometown headline show to date, September 20 at the Hollywood Bowl.
