Package will be released on July 7th
Beck invites fans to celebrate the eve of his birthday with the gift of a physical release of two acclaimed performances previously available only as digital singles. Available for pre-order now at Beck.com and the Capitol Records Online Store, and in the singles bin at your favorite indie shop tomorrow (Fri, July 7th), “Thinking About You”/”Old Man” will be issued as a limited edition golden-brown vinyl 7-inch single in a picture sleeve sporting the artwork for each song.
Originally released February of this year, “Thinking About You” was the first new original Beck song to be released since his Grammy-winning Hyperspace album. A sublime ballad in the tradition of classics Morning Phase and Sea Change—and incidentally recorded in the very same room as the latter—“Thinking About You” features Beck’s wistful vocal and acoustic guitar tones accompanied by Blake Mills on guitar and mandolin), Justin Meldal Johnsen on bass and Roger Manning on keyboards.
Beck’s cover of Neil Young’s “Old Man” was originally released as a digital single in September 2022. Accompanied by a moving performance video rendered in stark black and white, Beck’s version of “Old Man” went on to be nominated for Best Rock Performance at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards.
