The track recalls the folksy, stripped-back acoustic sound of his Grammy-winning 2014 album ‘Morning Phase’ and his seminal 2002 LP ‘Sea Change’.
Produced by Beck himself and mixed by Nigel Godrich, ‘Ride Lonesome’ opens with a melancholic acoustic guitar, before unfolding with piano and strings, as he sings: “You got to ride lonesome/ You got to try to find your home.”
It follows ‘Everybody’s Gotta Learn Sometime‘, released in January, which featured rarities, deep cuts, and covers. Before that, his last studio album was 2019’s ‘Hyperspace‘.
Check out ‘Ride Lonesome’ below.
