I am Kyle's self-indulgence

Rolling Stone

Little bits of news have been coming down the tubes for a week or so, but this is the most in-depth piece so far.

The resulting album, tentatively titled Modern Guilt, is full of off-kilter rhythms and left-field breakdowns, with an overall 1960s British vibe. Beck’s vocals float over the music as if he’s singing along to some mystical radio station in the next room.

Each song started with Beck playing acoustic guitar over a drumbeat: If it made the cut, they’d flesh out the music, usually with Burton playing keyboard bass and Beck playing most of the other instruments. There were just a few guests: Joey Waronker added drums to the epic “Chem Trails,” which would have fit in nicely on an early Pink Floyd record.

This sounds terrific. I can't wait to hear it.

And I must say I like this new trend of artists speeding up their recording and release schedules to come out with unanticipated albums.
