No title, release date, tracklist, or cover art just yet, but that Danger Mouse-produced, Cat Power-assisted Beck LP will indeed be coming at us a whole lot sooner than we thought a week ago. Clocking in at just over a half an hour, the ten track LP is due “this summer” from Interscope in the U.S.

Given how much we don’t know about the project at this juncture, let’s take an inventory of the rest of what we do know. Sez a press release: “The result [of Beck and Danger Mouse's collaboration] is a tightly assembled group of songs that range in lyrical tone from introspection and social commentary to off-the-cuff wordplay and lighthearted humor.”

So it’s a Beck album, then.

And the music? “Musically, the album’s ten tracks vacillate between economy and experimentation, hybrid and pop classicism, while consistently manifesting Beck and Danger Mouse’s shared interest in psych-rock, folk, electronic minimalism, and orchestration.”

So it’s a Beck album, then.

Beck’s forthcoming summer tour? Still all laid out and ready to roll since our last report.
