The new Beck single ‘Dreams’ is his first release since Morning Phase last year. Morning Phase was critically lauded and won three Grammys. Although I liked it, it was folksy and a wee bit morose, and there were certainly no tunes that an indie DJ could use in a set.
‘Dreams’ is a different ballgame altogether; a stompy, jangly, dance floor friendly, slice of summer cheer. (Apparently he wrote it so he would have something upbeat to play on tour!) ‘Dreams’ is the first single to be taken from Beck’s upcoming thirteenth studio album, although a release date has yet to be confirmed.
I’ve been bopping around to this at home and playing it at gigs. It’s a great summer rock tune. Check it out.
