Modern Guilt by Beck

Release Date: 2008-07-08, Audio CD, Interscope Records

CDs. Modern Guilt

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 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. 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, 2008 at the Hollywood Bowl.
