Stream: Beck: "Cell Phone's Dead"

Stream: Beck: "Cell Phone's Dead"

***UPDATE: BECK HAS TAKEN THE TRACK OFF OF HIS WEBSITE. SORRY!*** 

When word first leaked that Nigel Godrich was producing the next Beck album, we expected another introspective, low-key affair like the pair's previous collaborations, 1998's Mutations and 2002's Sea Change.We were wrong.

"Cell Phone's Dead", currently streaming from Beck's website, might as well have been produced by the Dust Brothers. It's typical Beck-funk, bricolage of electro, hip-hop, and Brazilian instrumentation.

As previously reported, Michel Gondry has directed the video. We predict that it will rule.
