Beck’s Record Club Covers ‘The Velvet Underground & Nico’
I really like where Beck’s new project, Record Club, is headed. The premise: Beck will lead a group of musicians to cover an entire album of their choosing in one day. The tracks are recorded and then released once a week on his website for fans to enjoy.
Wired reports:
“An album will be chosen to be reinterpreted and used as a framework. Nothing rehearsed or arranged ahead of time… Musical cohorts will include folks like Devendra Banhart, Jamie Lidell, Nigel Godrich and MGMT.”
AWESOME. I really hope this goes on for a while and doesn’t fizzle. For their first project, the group choose The Velvet Underground & Nico, which provides a lot of room for getting experimental — check out the tune “Sunday Morning” after the jump.
