Cat Power Appears on New Beck Album
Said album might be appearing sooner than you think
Following in the footsteps of Radiohead, Trent Reznor (twice!), the Raconteurs, Gnarls Barkley, and himself, Beck plans to release his new Danger Mouse-produced LP quite quickly-- in the next four to six weeks, to be exact, according to MTV.com
Universal Music Group wouldn't confirm anything, but we discovered that one of MTV's claims is very much true: the new Beck album will indeed feature contributions from Chan "Cat Power" Marshall. Hopefully in a more notable capacity than Beth Orton on Midnite Vultures, eh?
In other Beck news, he's added a few dates to that summer tour of his since our last report. Oh, and did you hear about his new album? It's got Cat Power on it!
Beck:
06-25 Arendal, Norway - Hove Festival 06-27 Berlin, Germany - Columbiahalle 06-28 St. Gallen, Switzerland - St. Gallen Festival 06-30 Amsterdam, Netherlands - Melkweg 07-01 Southampton, England - Guildhall 07-02 Manchester, England - Apollo 07-04 London, England - Hyde Park (O2 Wireless Festival) 07-06 Werchter, Belgium - Rock Werchter Festival 07-07 Paris, France - Olympia 07-09 Madrid, Spain - La Riviera 07-10 Lisbon, Portugal - Super Bock Super Rock Festival 08-22 San Francisco, CA - Golden Gate Park (Outside Lands Festival) 08-24 Bend, OR - Les Schwab Amphitheater * 08-30 Seattle, WA - Bumbershoot Festival 09-20 Los Angeles, CA - Hollywood Bowl ^ 09-27 Austin, TX - Zilker Park (Austin City Limits Festival)

New Beck LP: 10 Tracks, 30 Minutes, Due This Summer
No title, release date, tracklist, or cover art just yet, but that Danger Mouse-produced, Cat Power-assisted Beck LP will indeed be coming at us a whole lot sooner than we thought a week ago. Clocking in at just over a half an hour, the ten track LP is due "this summer" from Interscope in the U.S.
Given how much we don't know about the project at this juncture, let's take an inventory of the rest of what we do know. Sez a press release: "The result [of Beck and Danger Mouse's collaboration] is a tightly assembled group of songs that range in lyrical tone from introspection and social commentary to off-the-cuff wordplay and lighthearted humor."
So it's a Beck album, then.
And the music? "Musically, the album's ten tracks vacillate between economy and experimentation, hybrid and pop classicism, while consistently manifesting Beck and Danger Mouse's shared interest in psych-rock, folk, electronic minimalism, and orchestration."
So it's a Beck album, then.
Beck's forthcoming summer tour? Still all laid out and ready to roll since our last report.
Beck:
06-25 Arendal, Norway - Hove Festival 06-27 Berlin, Germany - Columbiahalle 06-28 St. Gallen, Switzerland - St. Gallen Festival 06-30 Amsterdam, Netherlands - Melkweg 07-01 Southampton, England - Guildhall 07-02 Manchester, England - Apollo 07-04 London, England - Hyde Park (O2 Wireless Festival) 07-06 Werchter, Belgium - Rock Werchter Festival 07-07 Paris, France - Olympia 07-09 Madrid, Spain - La Riviera 07-10 Lisbon, Portugal - Super Bock Super Rock Festival 08-22 San Francisco, CA - Golden Gate Park (Outside Lands Festival) 08-24 Bend, OR - Les Schwab Amphitheater * 08-30 Seattle, WA - Bumbershoot Festival 09-20 Los Angeles, CA - Hollywood Bowl ^ 09-27 Austin, TX - Zilker Park (Austin City Limits Festival)

Beck Reveals Full Modern Guilt Details at Last
Finally, it all comes together: the forthcoming Danger Mouse-produced LP from the chameleonic song-and-dance man they call Beck is indeed called Modern Guilt, and is due July 7 in the UK and Europe from XL, with a North American release the next day, July 8, from DGC.
The 10-tune set, roughly 30 minutes in length features none other than Cat Power on a track called "Walls", and the whole tracklist is available after the jump.
Beck's just shy of a fortnight away from the start of his summer tour, which finds him hitting Europe through this month and next, and North America in August and September. As you know, Band of Horses join him for a couple shows.
