Beck performs at the United Palace Theatre in Manhattan as he tours in support of new album, Modern Guilt. The bill for these dates also features MGMT.
In his own unique style, Beck draws on influences from blues and country to hip-hop. With the help of producer of the moment Brian Burton, aka Danger Mouse, the new album delivers a short, sharp dose of 21st-century freak-out, littered with references to pollution and suicide.
A world away from his Grammy-award winning 1996 feast of sampling experimentation, Odelay, but no less enjoyable, the album finds Beck at a something of a career crossroads. Releases in the interim have ranged from the upbeat bubblegum of Midnite Vultures (1999) to the inspired melancholy of Sea Change from three years later. But with at least eight solo albums released since 1994, just how long can he keep on keeping on?
