It has been a long nine years since Beck’s “Guero” was released in 2005. My son and I have been waiting anxiously for a follow on to “Guero”, which is a very upbeat album.
To our surprise, Beck took a different direction. “Morning Phase” is actually quite mellow, a stark contrast to “Guero”. Some people compare it to “Sea Change” but I would not do that in a million years. As good as “Sea Change” was, that comparison really does not do justice to Beck’s new album.
I believe “Morning Phase” would appeal to a lot of our listeners for late time listening. Have a listen of the sampler on Amazon.
