Beck has recruited Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich to work on his new album. The star, who has been working on songs with Dan The Automator in recent months, has recruited the producer to work on the latest sessions on the follow-up to his ‘Midnite Vultures’ album. Godrich has worked with Beck before, producing his acclaimed ‘Mutations’ longplayer. Sources close to the singer have hinted Beck hopes to get the same work ethic instigated on the new album, working on a song a day. It is currently unclear when the as-yet-untitled new album will be released. [from NME, thanks Adam]
