Morning Phase专辑介绍
Beck has announced his first album of new material since 2008′s Modern Guilt. Entitled Morning Phase, it will be released in February 2014 through Beck’s new label, Capitol Records.
According to a press release, Morning Phase “has been described as a companion piece of sorts” to Beck’s acclaimed 2002 album Sea Change. It features many of the same who played on that record (and who currently accompany him live), specifically Justin Meldal-Johnsen, Joey Waronker, Smokey Hormel, Roger Joseph Manning Jr., and Jason Falkner. The press release also notes that “Morning Phase harkens back to the stunning harmonies, song craft and staggering emotional impact of that record, while surging forward with infectious optimism.”
A complete tracklisting, exact release date, and further information will be released “as it is confirmed.” As previously reported, Beck also has a second album on the way, which has been described as “small-bore, self-contained” acoustic effort. No word on when that will surface. In the meantime, take a listen to Beck’s recent one-off single, “Gimme”.
2015年第57届格莱美：年度专辑、最佳摇滚专辑
要不是美国洛杉矶后现代鬼才唱作歌手Beck即将在2月发表其第12张专辑《Morning Phase》，方醒起他的上张官方专辑已是2008年的《Modern Guilt》了。

前作是Beck最后1张为Interscope/Geffen厂牌灌录，无（唱片公司）约一身轻，回复自由身的他在过去几年间并没有躲懒，反而更加多姿多采——为别人监制唱片、策动翻玩经典专辑project、出版「歌谱专辑」、自资推出单曲，只欠没有为履行唱片合约而制作专辑而已。
作为6年来的全新专辑《Morning Phase》，唱片被拿来跟最能彰显Beck萦绕心头歌曲创作才华的2002年民歌专辑《Sea Change》作相提并论。
双面Beck
要认识Beck Hansen这位后现代唱作人，必然要认识他所具有的音乐两面体：他可以创造以节拍主导与大玩sample的奇趣混种折衷主义音乐，又可以谱出反璞归真的Folk-based歌曲。而Beck在多年来的每张专辑都明确地划分出这两条主线。
20年前，让Beck在1994年直捣主流乐坛的成名作——有X世代「Slacker国歌」之称的〈Loser〉，便是前无古人地把Blues/Folk/Psychedelic/Hip Hop共冶一炉之怪物作品；96年在The Dust Brothers监制下的《Odelay》专辑，美妙地跨越Hip Hop/Folk/Blues/Country/Rock/Funk/Electro，更是Beck最具代表性的作品；到后来的《Guero》与《The Information》等专辑，仍是那么多元缤纷而趣味盎然。另一方面，Beck早年是玩Lo-fi到极的民歌起家，成名后在98年发表的《Mutations》是多么美好动听的「太空纪元民歌摇滚」专辑，而再一次回归民歌路线的《Sea Change》更公认为他作为唱作人姿态下最无懈可击的专辑。
唱片监制到出版歌书
多年来，Beck算是多产的创作歌手，平均每两年出版1张专辑。直到由Danger Mouse（Gnarls Barkley/Broken Bells） 监制的《Modern Guilt》在08年面世，也标志着他与Interscope/Geffen厂牌的合约告一段落。然后我们亦看到Beck在跟着的几年作出不一样的发展。
比如退居幕后，监制了法国女影星兼歌手Charlotte Gainsbourg的09年专辑《IRM》，还负责了大部分创作与演奏工作，到了11年，纽约另类摇滚天团Sonic Youth主将Thurston Moore的《Demolished Thoughts》和前Pavement主唱之乐队Stephen Malkmus And The Jicks的《Mirror Traffic》这两张专辑，亦是由Beck监制；同时他策动了Record Club这个与好友乐手翻玩经典专辑的project，包括重新演绎The Velvet Underground的《The Velvet Underground & Nico》、Leonard Cohen的《Songs Of Leonard Cohen》，录音与影片花絮放在Beck的网页上发表；12年12月，又艺高胆大地出版其乐谱歌书《Song Reader》，辑录的并非旧作而是新歌，Beck视之为其专辑看待。去年，他则自资推出了〈Defriended〉、〈I Won't Be Long〉和〈Gimme〉3首独立单曲，直至签约Capital厂牌后，Beck才终告正正经经地带来他的回归专辑《Morning Phase》。
万般萦绕心头
2000年，Beck与未婚妻Leigh Limon的9年关系破裂，分手后，他怀着神伤与空虚心情创作及灌录出回归民歌路线的2002年专辑《Sea Change》，带来满是忧伤、苍白情感而触动心灵的歌曲，是乐迷心目中Beck最动听的专辑。
感觉上，《Morning Phase》无疑是《Sea Change》在12年后的引申，带来同是万般萦绕心头的Folk-based歌曲，而且找回Justin Meldal-Johnsen、Joey Waronker、Roger Joseph Manning Jr.等《Sea Change》时期的乐手参与。只是《Morning Phase》里的作品再没有那种苦涩，而是添上几分晨光般的光明。在弦乐氛围前奏曲〈Cycle〉后〈Morning〉这首Folk ballad里，Beck唱出：「Woke up this morning, from a long night in the storm.」正是这次黑暗过后的早晨意境。先行单曲〈Blue Moon〉的蓝月亮下是温暖的夜色，由钢琴作主导的新单曲〈Waking Light〉是足以叫大家听得心灵融化的优美ballad。在送上有如Simon & Garfunkel民歌的〈Turn Away〉与在pedal steel结他下乡谣风的〈Country Down〉之余，亦有只以凄戚空灵新古典弦乐伴以Beck主唱的〈Wave〉。（By袁智聪）
