Beck recorded new album with Jack White, has two more on the way

Beck recently announced his first album (that you can actually listen to) in six years, in the form of Morning Phase. Now he’s unveiled some more details about that much-awaited release.

Morning Phase is being prepped by Capitol Records for February 2014 and will be a “companion piece of sorts” to the musician’s 2002 album Sea Change.

Speaking to Rolling Stone, the musician has described the record as ”California music”, adding: ”I’m hearing the Byrds, Crosby Stills and Nash, Gram Parsons, Neil Young—the bigger idea of what that sound is to me.”

He added that three of the songs (namely ”Waking Light,” ”Blackbird Chain”, and “Country Dawn”) were actually recorded with Jack White at the White Stripes man’s Third Man Records studio. White isn’t the only famous name collaborator however, with Beck also working with Atoms For Peace’s Joey Waronker and his own dad, David Campbell.

As well as Morning Phase, the singer also says that two more albums could be coming during 2014. Beck has released a series of standalone singles over the past few months, expected to form one of these aforementioned new efforts. One of those includes “I Won’t Be Long”, which can be streamed beneath.
