Beck – Odelay (LP, Album, Limited Edition, 180 gram, US, 1996, Bong Load Custom Records BL30)

Why This Record Matters
Beck’s Odelay brings together alternative rock, hip-hop rhythms, blues, and country touches in a sample-rich production made with the Dust Brothers. Songs such as “Devil’s Haircut,” “Where It’s At,” and “The New Pollution” showcase its jump-cut mix of grooves, unusual sounds, and Beck’s dry, playful songwriting. The album won the 1997 Grammy for Best Alternative Music Performance and was also nominated for Album of the Year.
