Beck shows painfully introspective, meditative and hochmelodiƶs. Acoustic guitars, mandolins and dense soundscapes characterize the songs. The lyrics are suggestive and leave the listener a lot of room for interpretation.
"Morning Phase" is growing. After the first listen I was not convinced. Soon it turned out that "Blue Moon" is a masterpiece. At the latest after the fifth time, this collection of catchy songs came together for a great overall picture. With "Morning Phase" Beck has done a remarkable job. It stands in a row with his best works.
