Beck hasn't released a full-length since 2019's Hyperspace (and that album's subsequent 2020 reworking), but that may be about to change, since he has been in the studio with an orchestra.
The shapeshifting songwriter revealed this tidbit in an interview with Wallpaper. Interestingly, he denied that this is the follow-up to Hyperspace, but rather an "undisclosed, unnamed project."
What that means is anyone's guess, although this is hardly the first time Beck has recorded with an orchestra. His father is composer David Campbell, who has arranged the strings on many Beck albums — most prominently 2002's Sea Change and 2014's Morning Phase.
Earlier this year, Beck said that he's been "working on multiple projects or albums at the same time and I'm just jumping between them, sort of creative schizophrenia."
His symphonic turn makes sense, since he's doing an orchestral tour this year, including shows in Montreal and Toronto.
