## Key points

- Beck has announced his first album since 2019.
- Ride Lonesome arrives on 18 September via Capitol.
- The record reunites Beck with key longtime collaborators.

## Summary

Beck has confirmed his first album in seven years, Ride Lonesome, and launched it with the song “In the Night” and a new video starring Denis Lavant. The release marks his return to the album cycle since 2019’s Hyperspace and is significant because it reconnects him with musicians involved in some of his most admired past records, suggesting both continuity and a renewed creative phase.

Ride Lonesome is due on 18 September via Capitol, after Beck first introduced the project in April with the title track and news of a tour. The 12-track album reunites him with Smokey Hormel, Joey Waronker, Justin Meldal-Johnsen, Roger Joseph Manning Jr. and Jason Falkner, was recorded at Room B in Hollywood’s United Studios, and was mixed by longtime collaborator Nigel Godrich. Pitchfork also highlights the Mikai Karl-directed video for “In the Night”, while Beck says the sessions built on the chemistry of earlier collaborations but also uncovered new sounds and emotional textures.
