Floaty and spacey

It's Ruby Tuesday!


Multi-instrumentalist and experimentalist Beck is back with a new track uploaded just today!
"Defriended" begins with an electronic whine, a backwards keyboard-like sound and big, oddly timed snares interrupted with a sudden crash, like a cello player falling over. Echoy and only partly comprehensible vocals join in with some gently strummed guitar and not so gentle bass. The whole thing feels floaty and spacey and we end with a final crash.
It's a great track that somehow feels light and airy but also quite meaty thanks to those drums and bass stabs. 
Beck is apparently planning two new albums, so keep your eyes open for news as it comes!

Soundtrack to: Floating gently into space only to collide with a satellite.
