[edit] BECK
Beck Hanson's 'Loser' became the ubiquitous slacker anthem of 1994. In the seven years since, he has collected a number of grammy awards and sold nearly five million copies in the US alone. This is an in-depth exploration of Beck's life history and music.
A complete, behind the scenes portrait of Beck, the most talented, fascinating, and innovative artist of our postmodern era - ingeniously designed gorgeously photographed, and comprehensively reported. Beck Hansen has travelled light years since his debut single, 'Loser,' took Western culture by storm and became the ubiquitous slacker anthem of 1994. Back then, critics and pop aesthetes of all tastes were eager to write Beck off as just another one-hit wonder, a quirky Gen X-er with no more tricks in his bag. Beck seems to have missed that memo. In the seven years since, his albums have topped even the most discriminating critics' year-end lists, nabbed a slew of Grammys, and sold nearly five million copies in the United States alone. A living, breathing, postmodern patchwork of eclectic references and seemingly limitless influences, Beck has managed to bridge that massive gap between mainstream adoration and artistic vitality. Beck: the Art of Mutation is an in-depth, all access exploration of the man's life history and music. Veteran music author Nevin Martell takes readers behind the scenes during Beck's live performances, recording sessions, and day to day life. With its cutting edge design, loads of rare photographs, and complete discography/videography that includes all collaborations and contributions, this is the definitive Beck book.
