Beck has shared a new single, ‘Ride Lonesome’, and announced a 2026 tour. Find all the details below.
The track recalls the folksy, stripped-back acoustic sound of his Grammy-winning 2014 album ‘Morning Phase’ and his seminal 2002 LP ‘Sea Change’.
Produced by Beck himself and mixed by Nigel Godrich, ‘Ride Lonesome’ opens with a melancholic acoustic guitar, before unfolding with piano and strings, as he sings: “You got to ride lonesome/ You got to try to find your home.”
It follows ‘Everybody’s Gotta Learn Sometime‘, released in January, which featured rarities, deep cuts, and covers. Before that, his last studio album was 2019’s ‘Hyperspace‘.
Check out ‘Ride Lonesome’ below.
Alongside the single, Beck has also announced the North American ‘Lonesome Ride’ tour, which is set to kick off on September 16 in Vancouver. He’ll make stops in Portland, Los Angeles, Kansas City, Chicago, Atlanta and more before wrapping up in Nashville on October 31.
