Stuart StubbsHOST

Is sad Beck
Becca PetuniaHOST
... and you fell asleep immediately after listening to Odelay and woke up, and woke up in September 2026, and you turned to me, Becca Petunia, and you said, "What year is it?" And I said, "It doesn't matter.
Becca PetuniaHOST
Listen to Ride Lonesome," you wouldn't know it was the same person.
Josephine RiesmanHOST
It...
Josephine RiesmanHOST
He's changed a lot If you, if you went from Sea Change in 2002 and said, "Don't, don't ask what year it is.
Josephine RiesmanHOST
Here's Ride Lonesome," you'd be like, "Did he just put out..." I, I feel like this is the sa- a very similar thing.
Josephine RiesmanHOST
But you're right.
Josephine RiesmanHOST
That's kinda what I'm dealing with, is that, that, that shift that happens where he stops being quite as much of an explorer of genres within albums.
Josephine RiesmanHOST
Doesn't stop entirely.
DonHOST
So it's his 15th studio album, his first in seven years, actually.
DonHOST
The album's called Ride Lonesome.
DonHOST
Really seems to be almost like a lot of acoustic stuff, almost country.
DonHOST
You know, there's some pedal steel on there and a lot of, you know, piano and stuff like that.

You can go check it out wherever you find streaming services and all that.
speaker_0HOST
Now, if you grew up like me in the 1900s and the 1990s, then you know the song by Beck called Loser.
Eric SenichHOST
And he put out another one.
Josephine RiesmanGUEST
He just put out a new one, yes, Ride Lonesome, which is being billed as sort of the third in a trilogy, beginning with 2002's Sea Change and continuing into 2014's Morning Phase.

Josephine RiesmanGUEST
So Beck was born into Scientology, and not only that, by the time he was coming up in Scientology, his father had abruptly become something of a success.
Josephine RiesmanGUEST
When they joined, he was a well-trained musician, but he was still kind of busking.
Josephine RiesmanGUEST
Within a few years, he's playing viola on Carole King's Tapestry and then arranging strings for entire follow-up album to that.
Josephine RiesmanGUEST
He's arranging for Linda Ronstadt and Cat Stevens, all these people, and he becomes something of a s- what they call basically in a, in an official designation, a celebrity at the Church of Scientology, which means he's, he's a hot commodity and, and his family, uh, can get away with certain things that, or that certain blind eyes will be turned in a way that they might not be with more rank and file people.
Josephine RiesmanGUEST
So yes, h- his father has continued to be very involved in the Church of Scientology and is high ranking there.

ErinNARRATOR
Like, what do you mean? What do you really care about? Beck often left listeners guessing at those questions.
ErinNARRATOR
But after all his excursions and experiments, Beck describes his new album, Ride Lonesome, as where I really live musically.
ErinNARRATOR
The idea of songwriting in the classic sense, you know a guy with a guitar.
ErinNARRATOR
Ride Lonesome is, in many ways, a reunion and a return to Beck's long-time connections.
ErinNARRATOR
Once per decade, Beck has convened a core group of musicians from the band he toured with during the 1990s and early 2000s.
ErinNARRATOR
The band, with Justin Meldell-Johnson on bass, Joey Warrenker on drums, drums, Roger Manning on keyboards, and Smokey Hormel on guitar, first gathered on Beck's 1998 album, Mutations, the relatively folky hand-played successor to Beck's hip-hop-adjacent, sample-happy 1996 album, Baudelaire.
ErinNARRATOR
When these musicians regrouped on the 2002 album Sea Change, Beck was writing about heartache, the aftermath of breaking up with his fiancée.
ErinNARRATOR
In songs like Lost Cause and Lonesome Tears, Beck set aside his past wordplay to speak bluntly of shattered love and deep despair.

Sea Change forged a distinct, memorable sound, stately and pensive with a reverberant ambiance.
ErinNARRATOR
fringed with eerie effects and enriched with orchestral arrangements by Beck's father, the film composer David Campbell.

And the album is Ride Lonesome.

And we heard In the Night, just a lovely song that fits into the set.
