Beck to release 'Ride Lonesome' on Sept. 18, 2026

Today comes word that groundbreaking singer-songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Beck will release his forthcoming album Ride Lonesome on Sept. 18, 2026 via Capitol Records. The title track "Ride Lonesome" was recently released and is terrific. I can't wait to hear the album (the first since 2019's GRAMMY-winning Hyperspace) when it's released later this summer. You can pre-order the album at: https://Beck.lnk.to/RideLonesome ...Robert Kinsler




In a prepared statement, Beck commented, “My new album Ride Lonesome is coming out this fall. The musicians from my original touring and recording band that I recorded Sea Change, Morning Phase and Mutations with — Smokey HormelJoey WaronkerJustin Meldal-JohnsenRoger 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.

While we were revisiting a musical and physical place, it also felt like we were finding new sounds and emotional textures along the way.”

The announcement of Ride Lonesome is accompanied by “In The Night,” the second advance offering from the forthcoming album. The video was directed by Mikai Karl, produced by Ryan Smale and stars Denis Lavant (Beau Travail, Mauvais Sang), and can be seen HERE

Both songs were produced by Beck and mixed by Nigel Godrich.

'Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World' Soundtrack & Score deluxe vinyl coming March 26, 2021 via ABKCO

Exciting news for fans of the cult classic Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World as well as the parade of gifted artists who appear in the expanded soundtrack coming next spring...Robert Kinsler


SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD SOUNDTRACK & SCORE DELUXE VINYL COMING MARCH 26 FROM ABKCO



Seven Evil Exes Edition Contains Four Picture Discs Including Brie Larson Vocal on “Black Sheep” and 11 Other Previously Unreleased Tracks; Nigel Godrich Original Score of Cult Film Debuts On Vinyl

 

This year marks the tenth anniversary of the theatrical release of Universal Pictures’ Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. The film adaptation by director Edgar Wright (Hot FuzzBaby Driver) of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s graphic novel series stars Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Kieran Culkin and has since become a cult classic due in no small part to the use of music in its storytelling. The soundtrack album and score were originally released in 2010 by ABKCO Records

Now ABKCO, with Edgar Wright and Nigel Godrich’s oversight, has curated an expanded, four LP picture disc Seven Evil Exes Edition offering of the soundtrack/score, including more performances by Sex Bob-Omb and demos from Beck, as well as fan favorite “Black Sheep” by Metric and sung by actress Brie Larson. The set is slated for release on March 26.
 
Each side of each LP is graced with an image of one of the “Seven Evil Exes” characters from the film, with an image of Scott Pilgrim with Ramona Flowers on the eighth side. This marks the first time ever that Godrich’s score will get a vinyl release, which will also be available separately on a blue vinyl 2-LP set, also on March 26.
 

Preview the Unboxing of Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World Seven Evil Exes Edition now!  

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World finds Cera’s character smitten by Ramona Flowers (Winstead) and having to battle her seven evil exes who are out to kill him. Interwoven into the plot is a plethora of fictitious music groups acting out the performances of original compositions by real recording artists. Under the direction of producer Godrich (Radiohead, Paul McCartney, U2), Beck provided the music for Scott’s low-fi garage band Sex Bob-Omb, Canadian synth-rockers Metric did the same for The Clash at Demonhead (fronted by Brie Larson), Broken Social Scene wrote and recorded for Crash and the Boys, and faux DJ duo Katayanagi Twins were brought to life by Cornelius. In some cases, the finished songs incorporate actual vocal and instrumental contributions from the actors who appear in the film.
 
Wright and Godrich worked together for a two-year period, during which they essentially cast ultimate fantasy bands and got non-musician actors to learn their respective instruments with the aid of Chris Murphy from the band Sloan. The original soundtrack, which went to #2 on the Billboard soundtrack chart, also includes songs by Frank Black, Beachwood Sparks, Black Lips, T. Rex, Blood Red Shoes, The Rolling Stones and The Bluetones.
 
Edgar Wright, who in the last decade has written/directed The World’s End and Baby Driver and has directed the upcoming psychological thriller Last Night in Soho, waxes nostalgic about the music of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.  He commented, “It’s been ten years since Scott Pilgrim first made it to the big screen and I think the fact that it’s become so enshrined in the consciousness of so many for so long is due, in no small part, to the fact that the action was so music-driven. The Scott Pilgrim soundtrack and the score have played a huge role in making this an enduring phenomenon.” 
 
Since its release, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) has received many accolades. UK’s The Independent ranked it at number 4 out of “the 40 greatest film soundtracks of all time,” declaring that Wright “found a way to seamlessly integrate his soundtrack into Scott Pilgrim vs. the World’s narrative.” It was also included on Alternative Press’ list of “16 Fantastic Movie Soundtracks You Need To Hear.” “We Are Sex Bob-Omb” won the 2010 Houston Film Critics Society Award for Best Original Song.
 
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) Seven Evil Exes Edition will come with notes and musings from both Edgar Wright and Nigel Godrich, a new double-sided 24”x36” film poster and an exclusive coloring page with artwork by Scott Pilgrim creator Bryan Lee O’Malley.
 

Scott Pilgrim. vs the World fans will also be able to experience the Universal Pictures film exclusively in Dolby Cinema in 2021.

AMOS LEE'S MOUNTAINS OF SORROW, RIVERS OF SONG
SET FOR OCTOBER 1 RELEASE BY BLUE NOTE RECORDS

PRODUCED BY JAY JOYCE, ALBUM INCLUDES SPECIAL GUESTS ALISON KRAUSS AND PATTY GRIFFIN AND FOLLOWS 2011's CHART-TOPPINGMISSION BELL

Amos Lee                   Photo credit: Harper Smith


Mountains Of Sorrow, Rivers Of SongAmos Lee's fifth studio album, will be released on October 1 by Blue Note Records. See below for track listing. Lee recorded the 12-song collection in Nashville with Jay Joyce (Emmylou Harris, Patty Griffin, Eric Church, Cage the Elephant).

"I've always enjoyed it down there, so I thought I'd bring my band and see how a bunch of Philly guys fit in," says Lee. "Jay brings a musicality, a different kind of ear. He definitely hears things in ways that I don't, and brings out extra dimensions in the songs."

Mountains Of Sorrow, Rivers Of Song is the follow-up to 2011's Mission Bell, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and Billboard Rock Albums charts and contained the No. 1 Triple A radio hit "Windows Are Rolled Down." The new studio record is the first to feature Lee's longtime touring band - comprising Freddie Berman, Zach Djanikian, Andy Keenan and Jaron Olevsky - and the first album ever recorded at St. Charles, producer Joyce's brand new studio, which is housed in a converted East Nashville church.

The convenient location allowed several remarkable guests to participate in the sessions.Alison Krauss joins Lee on "Chill In The Air" and Patty Griffin sings harmony on "Mountains of Sorrow," a song inspired by Lee's visit to Levon Helm's barn in Woodstock, where he appeared at the legendary drummer's Midnight Ramble not long before Helm's death. Instrumentalists Jerry Douglas (Alison Krauss & Union Station),Mickey Raphael (Willie Nelson and Family) and Jeff Coffin (Dave Matthews Band) also contribute to the record.

Mountains Of Sorrow, Rivers Of Song finds Lee in new sonic territory, working with a broader palette of textures and instrumentation yet retaining the trenchant impact of the scenes, characters and stories that he is renowned for. The album arrives a full 10 years after he first signed with Blue Note Records and began a career that continues to grow and surprise.

The New York Times praised Lee's "honeyed singing voice," noting that 2011's chart-topping Mission Bell  "sharpens the payoff...it plants Mr. Lee and his tunes in a stark landscape, enveloped by rustling percussion and reverberant drones " while MOJO said: "His lyrics sweat with detail and nervy experience." "Mission Bell is a darker turn for Lee, and shows that his artistic arc is still peaking," observed Associated Press.

Lee - who has toured with such artists as Bob Dylan, Norah Jones, Elvis Costello, Adele and Dave Matthews Band - will celebrate the release of Mountains Of Sorrow, Rivers Of Song with an extensive fall headline tour. Details will be announced shortly.
