“swoon-worthy”–ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

“rich and inventive, sprouting beautiful and unexpected details at every turn… the gorgeously conceived Beck album we’ve been waiting more than a decade for”–STEREOGUM

The single most anticipated album of the year to date can now be heard in its entirety on iTunes Radio. iTunes First Play: Beck’s Morning Phase is is available now at http://smarturl.it/MPRADIO for a full week on advance of its February 25 release on Capitol Records.

Early raves on Morning Phase continue to pile up in the run-up to its release–additionally Beck was announced last week as musical guest on Saturday Night Live‘s March 1 return.

Likened by some to a companion piece of sorts to his 2002 masterpiece Sea ChangeMorning Phasefeatures many of the same musicians who played on that record–and who also currently accompany Beck live: Justin Meldal-Johnsen, Joey Waronker, Smokey Hormel, Roger Joseph Manning Jr., and Jason Falkner. Preceded by the sublime first single “Blue Moon” (http://smarturl.it/BlueMoon), the stunning “Waking Light” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixtNYSiNyO4) and the recent live debuts of “Morning,” “Unforgiven” and “Wave,” Morning Phase harkens back to the stunning harmonies, classic Californian song craft and staggering emotional impact of that record, while surging forward with infectious optimism.
