Beck invites you to celebrate the eve of his birthday with the gift of a physical release of two acclaimed performances previously available only as digital singles. Available for pre-order now at Beck.com and the Capitol Records Online Store, and in the singles bin at your favorite indie shop tomorrow, July 7, âThinking About Youâ/âOld Manâ (Capitol) will be issued as a limited edition golden-brown vinyl 7â single in a picture sleeve sporting the artwork for each song.
Originally released February of this year, âThinking About Youâ was the first new original Beck song to be released since his GRAMMY-winning Hyperspace album. A sublime ballad in the tradition of classics Morning Phase and Sea Changeâand incidentally recorded in the very same room as the latterââThinking About Youâ features Beckâs wistful vocal and acoustic guitar tones accompanied by Blake Mills (guitar, mandolin), Justin Meldal Johnsen (bass) and Roger Manning (keyboards). âThinking About Youâ has been lauded by Consequence as âheart-wrenchingâ and SPIN as “beautifully sad,â while American Songwriter raved âThe song is stripped bare to reveal Beckâs roots as the mellow, moody songsmith that made listeners fall in love with him in the 1990s.”
Beckâs cover of Neil Youngâs âOld Manâ was originally released as a digital single in September 2022. Described by Paste as “a faithful cover of an untouchable track⦠impressiveâ and accompanied by a moving performance video rendered in stark black and white, Beckâs version of âOld Manâ went on to be nominated for Best Rock Performance at the 65th Annual GRAMMY Awards.
