Beck will release a new album by the summer, apparently

On the Norwegian festival's website, there's a biography of Beck, with this interesting little line sneakily dropped in:

"We are always looking forward to hearing new music from Beck. He is currently working on a new album which will be out before the summer."

DIY report that it has "been recorded with Pharrell Williams and other collaborators, and it’s set to be a departure from the folk-acoustic release Morning Phase."

Morning Phase is Beck's latest full-length offering, and it was released last year to acclaim.
