New Beck – “Necessary Evil”

Modern Guilt is the '60s psych-pop reinvention that keeps on giving. Never mind that what it's given of late is a fittingly forgettable, colorless collagist clip for one of its least memorable songs; this is 2009 and the promo cycle springs eternal. This new one comes with the UK iTunes Deluxe release, and I so want to meet the person that bought it once and is lured again by the Deluxe tag, but no bother: it's a new listen for a new packaging of an otherwise worthy album. Song title says it all, but then Beck's always been a good lyricist.

All mean things said, this is actually a good little listen. Clearly b-side material, but Hansen's voice always sounds right over wobbly rhythm sections with drunken slide guitars. Necessary evil I'm starting to wonder what happens now? More videos duh.
