The Information
Tech hip-hop folk troubadour Beck is Beck with his latest LP, The Information and a new album cover concept. The cover art has got a Beck logo on the top left made outta Lego bricks on top of what looks like graph paper. Inside the packaging, you get some stickers which you can use to make your own album cover. Cool huh? The two variations above were stolen from Amazon. Hehe.
Musically, The Information sounds more like a return to his older work, like Odelay. Its not as melancholic, sad guy like Sea Change or hectic techtric like Guero. A lot of people reviewing it have chosen to focus on stuff that's not really relevant to the music itself and haven't quite raved over it. I find it's still miles more refresing than a lot of stuff that's out there plus I love that cover art DIY concept.
