Listen to this when

Sea Change

Album · 2002 · Beck · Geffen; produced by Nigel Godrich; string arrangements by David Campbell (Beck's father)

Beck didn't write a moving-on album. He wrote a sitting-with-it album. Sometimes that's the one you need first. 🌊 #SeaChange

Who it's for

Beck wrote these songs after discovering his partner's infidelity and ending a nine-year relationship, and set aside his usual irony for plain, sincere writing.
