Coming Soon
The LP is a follow-up to the musician’s Grammy-winning effort Hyperspace
Beck will release his 15th studio album, Ride Lonesome, on Sept. 18 via Capitol Records. The LP marks the musician’s first collection of new songs since 2019’s Hyperspace.
Beck previously shared the title track, “Ride Lonesome,” in April. He released an expanded version of the song featuring Sierra Ferrell not long after. Along with the album’s announcement, Beck released a second single, “In the Night,” along with a cinematic music video for the track, which was directed by Mikai Karl and stars famed French actor Denis Lavant.
“In the Night” was produced by Beck and mixed by Nigel Godrich, and features several musicians who played on Beck’s 2015 album Morning Phase and 2002’s Sea Change.
Beck recently explained the delay between albums in an interview with NPR. “I had to wait a couple of years to get back to work [after Covid],” he said. “But I’ve been writing a lot of songs. It’s been a very prolific time for me.… I’ve just been working on my music pretty constantly. I built a recording studio. You know, I’ve been living life. I’ve probably made multiple albums’ worth of music that probably no one will ever hear, but hopefully it leads to something. I’ve got lots of things cooking.”
He added, “I’ve been in the studio a lot on and off the last four years with my band. There’s a group of musicians I came up with that were my touring band for a lot of my early records. And everybody’s gone off to bigger and better things, but we still get together and we’ll find a couple of days here and there and make some music. And, yeah, I have a lot of different projects I want to do, so hopefully there’s time to get to all of them.”
In a new statement, the musician said that many of the musicians who recorded seminal albums Sea Change and Morning Phase “reconvened with me” at a Hollywood recording studio. “It had been a decade since we went in the studio and recorded Morning Phase,” he said. “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.”
