Acts will co-headline summer tour
Modern music’s consummate chameleon Beck and Versailles’ foremost musical ambassadors Phoenix have teamed up to create an utterly infectious summer anthem in “Odyssey,” a landmark collaboration out now via Capitol Records.
Three minutes and 47 seconds of sheer audio bliss, “Odyssey” is written, produced and performed by Beck and Phoenix, and mixed by Serban Ghenea. Beck and Thomas Mars nimbly trade lead vocals on the song’s verses, with the full cast joining to create the irresistible earworms of its choruses and each “Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah” singalong refrain. The result is two unmistakable sonic signatures combining to create something beyond the sum of its parts.
“Odyssey” is the spontaneous and perfect theme song for Beck and Phoenix’s eagerly anticipated co-headline Summer Odyssey tour. Produced by Live Nation, the 19-city run kicks off on Tuesday, August 1st in Seattle at Climate Pledge Arena, with stops including the Kia Forum in Los Angeles and both artists’ headlining return to New York’s Madison Square Garden, before wrapping up September 10th in Columbia, MD at Merriweather Post Pavilion. The tour will feature an array of support artists described by Beck and Mars as a “class of ’23” lineup, featuring Japanese Breakfast, Jenny Lewis, and Weyes Blood on select dates with Sir Chloe.
