Beck – Sea Change (2xLP)

If you can rely on one thing with Mr. Hansen, then it is the fact that you cannot rely on anything at all. In this sense the cheerful musical hooking continues - fortunately! Who has the courage to surprise fans and the public like Beck in days like these, when more and more streams are streamed in car construction as well as in musical production? After "Mellow Gold" (1994) with the super hit "Loser", "Odelay"(96), "Mutations" (1998) and "Midnight Vultures" (1999), Mr. Hansen now bumps us tastefully in the head with a NuCountry / Folk album. After riding every sampler in the West, he switched back to the acoustic one.

Thank you very much The Beck fan has it good ... he never gets bored and what he hears is always extra cool! The current proof: "Sea Change". Hardly in the player a dignified atmosphere spreads out in the room, quiet guitars float like rolling bushes through the prairie and Beck's voice reminds in its laconic-melancholic density sometimes - with all due respect - of Mr. Cash himself.
