A teaser video clip of the pressing of the album, soundtracked by the song "Blue Moon".

Thanks for the post! Sounds great!

Totes lookin forward to this.

most anticipated album since years for me. can't wait. feb 25 seems way too far off

The album cover does remind me of the one(s) for Sea Change quite a bit.

Yeah I thought so too.

Same color pallet.

The new single "Blue Moon" is now streaming in its entirety on Spotify.

Also pre-orders now on iTunes plus you get Blue Moon instantly! Awesome!

5 years between albums??? Doesn't seem like it

I went on Amazon to see about Becks new cd and saw it costs$25.

Then I looked a little closer and saw that is the vinyl price.

phew!!!!!

I'm such an idiot at times.

It's leaked.

Can't wait to listen to this!

any reviews?

i'm looking forward to hearing this.

Beck's Morning Phase: The Billboard Cover Story

Read the article here.

Ah, what can be said--stunning, mystical, genius, beauty.

Waking Light is like classic Pink Floyd mixed with Elton John in the 70s. Wow.

i think we've already heard the best album of 2014 with this one.

it'll be hard for anyone to top this for me personally. i knew it'd

be good, but it still surprised me. he doesn't put a foot wrong on

this one. good stuff.

and how does he manage to look that good still?

Low testosterone.

I mean, you asked.

Let's just say that I've listened to that album quite a few times already. It's not a "modern classic" like Sea Change to me, but it's certainly a worthy "sequel" to that album. The sound is really wide, just like on Sea Change. The melodies aren't necessarily as memorable as on Sea Change, but I like the way some of the songs towards the end convey the feel of late-60s / early-70s stuff. His previous album, Modern Guilt, relied more on production choices to achieve that, but here it's actually the melodies and the way he sings them that does the trick.

All in all, the record is surprisingly good for something that's apparently made of material he didn't feel motivated enough to finish the first time around. Modern Guilt sounded like he was getting tired of "being Beck", but taking a little break seems to have helped.

i've been feeling the same way. although, thinking back, it took a little while for Sea Change

to become as embedded into my whole being as it is today. we've spent 13 years with that

album. still, i think Sea Change will always be my favorit, but this is, like you said, a worthy

'sequel'. i'm already in love with it and i'm sure i'll still be listening to this one more than ten

years from now, just like Sea Change.

I will get this. Love Beck anyway. But I'm just now streaming St. Vincent's new one and I can't imagine that won't be the best this year.
