Though he’s deviated here and there, the central aesthetic strain of Beck’s Modern Guilt videos/promos fit a general framework: Black and white, geometric, shadowy, and/or flickering. This new (and seemingly partially recycled) clip for one of Modern‘s lesser tracks “Replica” stays the course and hits all the above points in a fittingly lesser way, which means: Sorry, folks, no dancing Chloe Sevigny or, well, flowering busts.
Actually a pretty meditative way to endlessly extend the promotional period of your album, Mr. Hansen.
Modern Guilt is out.

HEY BECK IS THE BEST HE ROCKS AT EVERYTHING HE DOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS GREAT!! xxx
MMM Beck is amazing
Dude, too bad he’s a Scientologist. Thought he was sharper than that…
wow and what the fuck is wrong with being a Scientologist? it doesnt affect his music in a bad way or anything or affecting anything or anyone in a negative way
exactly, thank you for saying that. i don’t understand why people find it necessary to comment on Beck being a Scientologist in every every every single thing about him. if none of us knew he was one, we wouldn’t even be able to tell, so why talk about it?
I don’t really care that Beck is one, but a few minutes of research will tell you why people lose respect for those who join up.
Even if that is true, I still don’t understand why people can’t just keep Scientology out of everything Beck related. Honestly, why do people feel the need to say “too bad he’s a Scientologist?” If we didn’t know he was one, would we even be able to tell? No. That’s why it doesn’t matter what he is, he makes music, and he’s damn good at it. Who gives a fuck about religion?
ghey. beck sux.
Lesser? Pssh. Replica is one of the best tracks on Modern Guilt.
Agreed.
someone said they heard a Beck song at the end of the Oscars…is this true, did anyone stay with it long enough to hear?
They played “Leopard Skin Pill Box Hat” last night at the end of the oscars. Becks also releasing a “Modern Guilt Deluxe” in march and the physical album is being designed by Zucca. He also released a “Modern Guilt (extended version) on the UK itunes w. a new B-side “Necessary Evil” on it. And he’ll be releasing a 32 track edition of “One Foot In The Grave” this year. His keyboardist, Brian Lebarton has said Beck is going to have a busy year w. releases.
Beck is counting on us to pull him through the recession.
no he didn’t.
This video is amazing, just like the rest of his. Beck, hands down, is king of music videos. Brilliant.
