Beck's Record Club project-- in which he enlists friends to cover an entire album in a day, then posts the results to his website-- stands as a consistently fascinating ongoing project. At the moment, we're almost done hearing the version of the INXS album Kick that Beck did with St. Vincent, Liars, and Os Mutantes. And now Time Out Chicago reports that Beck has lined up the collaborators for his next Record Club project: Tortoise and Thurston Moore.
According to Time Out, Tortoise visited Beck's studio last weekend, while they were touring the West Coast. The Sonic Youth leader also checked in. No word yet on what album they might've covered or when we'll get to hear it, but Tortoise bassist/guitarist Douglas McCombs tells Time Out that the assembled luminaries played a "broad spectrum of music that was sort of appropriate."
While you let this news percolate, check out St. Vincent's Annie Clark singing the INXS jam "Never Tear Us Apart" as part of the current Record Club project, because damn.
