When Beck released Sea Change back in 2002, it was a revelation. The songs and album completely turned everything that Beck had done before on its side. I completely fell for that album and wondered if Beck would ever return to that musical space. Twelve years later, Beck has done just that. With Morning Phase, Beck revisits everything that made Sea Change such a special album. Yet it is a different album. There was an intimacy with Sea Change that frankly can never be duplicated. But it does not need to be. Beck is not trying to duplicate the past. He is acknowledging it and using the framework for what made that album so special to explore something new.
