Beck has released his new song, “Ride Lonesome,” a folksy ballad revisiting the sound of his Grammy-winning 2014 album, Morning Phase. Stream it below.
Produced by Beck himself and mixed by Nigel Godrich, “Ride Lonesome” begins with, well, a lonesome acoustic guitar before bringing in piano, slide guitar, and strings. “You got to ride lonesome/ You got to try to find your home,” he sings.
The track is a welcome return for those fans turned off by the slick production and pop-leaning direction of his last two studio records, following the acclaimed Morning Phase, itself a return to the melancholic, lush instrumentation of 2002’s Sea Change.
