Elite artists to join Beck's new online music club

• 19th Jun 2009

Beck’s website (beck.com) is undergoing a revamp, which will include a new feature called The Record Club.

This section will involve the meeting of various artists, such as MGMT, Devendra Banhart, Jamie Lidell, and Nigel Goodrich, who will record an album in one day, with each track being added to the website week by week.

A quote form the website states the following:
“An album will be chosen to be reinterpreted and used as a framework. Nothing rehearsed or arranged ahead of time. A track will be uploaded once a week on beck.com as well as through the web sites of those involved with the project.”

“For this first edition, after lengthy deliberation and coming close to covering Digital Underground's Sex Packets, all present voted in favour of the 'other' Underground's The Velvet Underground & Nico.”
