No, he is just on a couple tracks i believe. No producer credits according to my data

It was my understanding that he produced it and appeared on a few tracks

Even Pitchfork was nice.

Credit for writing and playing on half the album but no production work.

Ah. Thanks for the clarification. I think Beck’s adventurousness permeates throughout if that helps.

I haven't listened yet but looking forward to it.

Yeah I'm about halfway in and really enjoying it. The songs w/ Noel Gallagher are great too, On The Game is a highlight so far as is the opening track (Nowhere). The cover of Forgot To Be Your Lover is solid too

oh doggy!

Beck – backing vocals (tracks 1–3, 11, 13), celeste keyboards (3), organ (10, 12), electric guitar (10), synthesizer (12), acoustic guitar (13)

Noel Gallagher – backing vocals (tracks 4, 5, 9), electric guitar (4)

Well... That was... Pretty cool.
Color me surprised.

All this Rm interest might push me to listen to it

Nice album.

Wasn't expecting to like it much.
I thought I'd have Auerbach burnout after The Arcs made it to my top 10 albums of 2023.
Yet here we are.

yes this is fun
worth a spin

Vinyl roulette picked Turn Blue for me today. I was reluctant as in the past I've really disliked this album, but turns out it's a lot stronger than I remember it being

It certainly has its ups and downs but Weight of Love is an all timer for them. Glorious excess.

for me it’s their best record since the mid-00s. it’s not like any of those old records, of course, but i feel it’s their only record since then where they pushed themselves a bit and made a truly solid album. i think it’s vastly underrated. and weight of love might really be their best song, i’m glad they started playing it again at their shows.

I think Turn Blue is great, it was indeed a step aside at the time but I really thought it was a nice cohesion of what they were trying to do in branching out... which is never easy.

I am really enjoying the latest album though probably the most spins of a BK record since Turn Blue actually.

i haven't had time to listen to the new one yet, actually. i did have tix for the show here in the fall that got canceled along with the rest of the tour - it would have been my first time seeing them since 2008. we'll see what they do about that as far as a new tour- ticket buyers were told they'd have first crack at whatever tix, and if it's reasonable i'll still go.

I also saw them in 2008, at the Orpheum in Boston. I thought it was a great show and the room was the perfect size, I believe it may have been sold out with Attack and Release doing really well. Next was opening for Pearl Jam at the Garden, which even as a four piece was far too big a room for them though to be fair a lot of people were yet to get to their seat. Last would have been headlining the Firefly fest in 2012 and it simply did not work. I was surprised to hear of the big venue tour but not at all when it was cancelled.
