Beck

E-Pro

Label: Interscope Release Date: 14/03/2005

7758
gdobson by Gareth Dobson March 6th, 2005

Ah yes, we remember you.. hello Beck.

The diminutive musical chameleon that was allegedly the 90's answer to Prince (though not at all really) returns to the fore with something that reminds us of a time when we actually really liked the man, rather than when we merely thought we should.

‘E-Pro' twins grinding post-grunge guitars and clattering drums with disinterested "na, na na naaaa" sing song vocals and sounds like ‘Devil's Haircut' as covered by ‘13_' era Blur. It sounds distinctly honest, which for the genre-hopping West Coaster, is quite a feat. And it's all the better for it.

A big returning beam rather than a wan smile then, for Beck. Hurrah!
