Beck on his heavier, more aggressive next album

Beck tells Rolling Stone his next album, due next year, will be pretty aggressive and loud-guitared, recalling his early punked-out recordings.

Beck has been talking about his next album – due for release next year. And he reckons it will be "pretty aggressive" - reminiscent of his very first "punked out" recordings from the early 90s.

Speaking to Rolling Stone he said: "I've been working on it for a while, but I ended up doing Sea Change first. I've been wanting to do a record with loud guitars for a long time. My early stuff was a lot more punked out and noisy. I didn't really let myself use big guitars for a lot of years. The early Nineties was so saturated by big guitars that I became really interested by what I could do if you took all the guitars out - with the space that was left. It's a bit of everything lyrically. I like to use language that's colourful, that has images. I like my lyrics to have different things happening at the same time."
