Beck

180 gram cloudy sky blue vinyl with sequentially numbered aluminum stamp / 11x33 poster - limited to 2016 copies. 'Odelay' is the second full-length studio album by Beck and was originally released on June 18, 1996. 'Odelay' is a monument to wondrously precise pastiche. It's a glowing junkyard of musical styles, absurdist images, distorted samples, postmodern anti-emotions, you name it. Over the course of his three previous albums, Beck tinkered with more traditions and aesthetic approaches than an average cultural-studies professor sees in a career: hip-hop beats, acoustic folk-blues, indie-punk guitar squalls, DIY production, commercial smash! 'Odelay' accounts for all those things, too, but it also furthers the seamless, rump-shaking sheen of its collage nature, turning process into possible meaning.
