Beck announces first new album in six years, Ride Lonseome

"In The Night" arrives as the second preview of Ride Lonesome, following the title track released back in April. The songs serve as Beck's first new music since his 2020 album Hyperspace, with "In The Night" serving as his "ode to nocturnal musings". The single is also accompanied by a video directed by Mikai Karl, produced by Ryan Smale and starring Denis Lavant (Beau Travail, Mauvais Sang).

Speaking about how the album came together, Beck explains: "The musicians from my original touring and recording band that I recorded Sea Change, Morning Phase and Mutations with — Smokey Hormel, Joey Waronker, Justin Meldal-Johnsen, Roger Joseph Manning Jr., and Jason Falkner— reconvened with me at my favorite studio (Room B at United Studios in Hollywood). We had Nigel Godrich, who worked on Sea Change and Mutations with us mixing all the songs. It had been a decade since we went in the studio and recorded Morning Phase."

"This time It felt like the playing and the chemistry had evolved and deepened— a sound that’s come together over the decades of working together," he continues. "While we were revisiting a musical and physical place, it also felt like we were finding new sounds and emotional textures along the way.”
