Beck Releases New Single 'Disappearing Act' as Preview of 'Ride Lonesome'

The airy, acoustic track — produced by Beck and mixed by Nigel Godrich — points to a return to the Sea Change/Morning Phase sound and sets up a September album release and tour.

Overview

  • Beck has issued 'Disappearing Act' as the third preview single from his 15th studio album, Ride Lonesome, following the title track and 'In The Night'.
  • The new song was produced by Beck and mixed by Nigel Godrich and is presented as an ethereal, string-backed acoustic piece with contemplative lyrics.
  • Ride Lonesome was tracked at Room B, United Studios in Hollywood with the original Sea Change/Morning Phase-era band — Smokey Hormel, Joey Waronker, Justin Meldal-Johnsen, Roger Joseph Manning Jr., and Jason Falkner — who reconvened to recapture and evolve their prior chemistry.
  • The album is scheduled for release on September 18 via Capitol Records and Beck's 26-date North American tour will begin in Vancouver on September 16.
  • Ride Lonesome is Beck's first full-length LP since 2019's Hyperspace and follows a 2026 collection of rarities, framing the project as both a reunion and a stylistic return that could shape fall tour demand and early critical focus.
