How crazy is this?! Beck is working on an orchestral album!
Beck was recently interviewed by Wallpaper, and talked about his recent orchestral shows at London’s Royal Albert Hall earlier this month. He played there April 19 & 20, a bunch of deep cuts made the set list, and he even covered Korgis’ ‘Everybody’s Got To Learn Sometimes’.
Because of these shows, there’s speculation that Beck might be looking at doing an orchestral album.
In Wallpaper’s article, it says Beck is in studio working on the orchestral album but it isn’t the follow up to 2019’s ‘Hyperspace’. Instead, Beck says it’s an “undisclosed, unnamed project”.
Meanwhile, Beck is touring North America this summer!
