Buck Fuck Iowa

Beck

Abrasive anti-folk and surrealist sketches recorded to tape. The sound of a young artist dismantling the singer-songwriter archetype with humor and distortion.

Find on Amazon

It's like finding a weird, brilliant cassette tape in a thrift store bargain bin.

A chaotic, humorous, and fiercely independent exploration of surrealist folk.

Loser (demo)
4:19
Moments Worth Waiting For
The jarring transition from the aggressive title track into the hazy, druggy sprawl of track two.
The bizarrely earnest yet ironic delivery of the spoken word sections in Satan Was Way Cool.
The skeletal, early demo version of Loser that reveals the song's folk-blues origins before the big production.
