American singer-songwriter Beck has announced his next album, Ride Lonesome. The launch comes with a new single and music video starring French actor Denis Lavant. Ahead of “In the Night,” Beck introduced the album back in April with the title track and news of a tour.
Ride Lonesome will be the follow-up to Beck's fourteenth studio effort, Hyperspace (2019). It is due September 18.

For this project, Beck reunited with the band that made Mutations, Sea Change, and Morning Phase: Smokey Hormel, Joey Waronker, Justin Meldal-Johnsen, Roger Joseph Manning Jr., and Jason Falkner. They worked at his favorite studio, Room B at Hollywood’s United Studios, he said in a press release acquired by Pitchfork. And, he added, sometime collaborator Nigel Godrich mixed the album.
“It had been a decade since we went in the studio and recorded Morning Phase. This time It felt like the playing and the chemistry had evolved and deepened—a sound that’s come together over the decades of working together. While we were revisiting a musical and physical place, it also felt like we were finding new sounds and emotional textures along the way.”
The Mikai Karl-directed video for "In the Night" starts with Lavant ruefully smoking a cigarette before wandering around an apparently French, tumbledown apartment, gazing across a rustic skyline, and slowly retreating into himself.
As for Beck's upcoming tour: the trek is set to start September 16 at the Queen Elizabeth Theare in Vancouver, then eventually conclude on Halloween at The Truth in Nashville. You can find all dates and more information here.
Watch the video for "In the Night" below.
