Where It's At

It looks like everyone's favorite musical Scientologist is back. Although we've been teased with Beck's damn good single/video for "Chemtrails," little information has been circulating about Mr. Hansen's upcoming album. That is, until now. It was announced today that Modern Guilt, Beck's eighth studio album (gotta applaud prolific artists), will be released July 8th on Geffen. Other than hearing the first single, all I really know is that this one is produced by Danger Mouse (of Gnarls Barkley fame) and will, according to Stereogum, "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." Whatever that means. Anywho, Guilt has already been generating some buzz in hipsterland, and hopefully this will allow Beck to bounce back from 2006's forgettable The Information. Here is Modern Guilt's suprisingly bland artwork with tracklisting:

1. "Orphans"
2. "Gamma Ray"
3. "Chemtrails"
4. "Modern Guilt"
5. "Youthless"
6. "Walls"
7. "Replica"
8. "Soul of A Man"
9. "Profanity Prayers"
10. "Volcano"
