The Complete Beck and Dava

Beck

Fifty-six tracks of primitive, tape-hissing folk and country covers. A skeletal, intimate document of a pre-fame artist finding his voice through tradition.

Find on Amazon

It's like finding a box of old cassette tapes in a ghost town's basement.

A fragile and dusty exploration of American roots music through a cracked, lo-fi lens.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The audible click of the tape recorder starting before the first harmonica blast of track 9
A fragile vocal harmony that nearly collapses during the second take of You Win Again
The long stretches of ambient room noise and dialogue that bridge the gap between skeletal folk songs
