Beck has unveiled the med­i­ta­tive and wist­ful new sin­gle, Ride Lone­some. Pro­duced by Beck and mixed by Nigel Godrich, it’s a slow-burn­ing track, evok­ing the beau­ti­ful and haunt­ing son­ic land­scapes and tex­tures of 2015 GRAMMY win­ner Morn­ing Phase and its spir­i­tu­al pre­de­ces­sor, 2002’s Sea Change.

Ride Lone­some fea­tures mul­ti­ple musi­cians who played on those mile­stone releas­es. From the gen­tle acoustic gui­tar strains of its open­ing to the emo­tion­al peaks of its final cho­rus, this long-await­ed new orig­i­nal com­po­si­tion marks a long-await­ed return that hints at a direc­tion for Beck that feels both new and yet unmis­tak­ably familiar.

There’s also the announce­ment of the Ride Lone­some Tour, a 25-date trek through North Amer­i­ca. UK res­i­dents it seems will have to wait a lit­tle longer but let’s hope there’s a tour over on our shores soon. For full tour details go to Beck.com
