Beck<\/a> has launched his new album, Ride Lonesome<\/em>, with a new song and video starring Denis Lavant. Ahead of \u201cIn the Night,\u201d Beck introduced the album back in April with the title track<\/a> and news of a tour. Ride Lonesome<\/em> is due September 18 via Capitol<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Mikai Karl-directed video starts with Lavant ruefully smoking a cigarette\u2014I would happily have watched this for five minutes\u2014before wandering around an apparently French, tumbledown apartment, gazing across a rustic skyline, and slowly retreating into himself. Watch it below.<\/p>\n For the Hyperspace<\/em><\/a> follow-up, Beck reunited with the band that made Mutations<\/em>, Sea Change<\/em>, and Morning Phase<\/em><\/a>: Smokey Hormel, Joey Waronker, Justin Meldal-Johnsen, Roger Joseph Manning Jr., and Jason Falkner. They worked at his favorite studio, Room B at Hollywood\u2019s United Studios, he said in a press release. And, he added, sometime collaborator Nigel Godrich mixed the album. \u201cIt had been a decade since we went in the studio and recorded Morning Phase<\/em>. This time It felt like the playing and the chemistry had evolved and deepened\u2014a sound that\u2019s come together over the decades of working together. While we were revisiting a musical and physical place, it also felt like we were finding new sounds and emotional textures along the way.\u201d<\/p>\n Read Mike Powell\u2019s Sunday Review of Beck\u2019s Mellow Gold<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n
