Record Club

A quick refresher. Five months ago, Beck started his Record Club project, which he touts on his site as “an informal meeting of various musicians to record an album in a day.”

Previously, we’ve seen the man himself covering The Velvet Underground and Nico, as well as MGMT and Devendra Banhart covering Songs of Leonard Cohen.

Rumor surfaced a while back that Wilco would, at some point, be involved with the project, a fact confirmed via beck.com earlier this week. Better yet, neo-soul crooner Jamie Lidell and Feist just happened to be hanging around the studio when Wilco dropped by, and the whole crew covered Jefferson Airplane member Skip Spence’s classic psych-folk album, Oar. Jeff Tweedy’s son Spencer even lended a hand with some of the drumming for the project.

The eight songs recorded during that session will be released in weekly installments. The first, “Little Hands,” is up and available now.
