Beck to take control of 6Music
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver September 20th, 2006

Beck is to take over BBC's digital music station 6Music on October 2, the release date of his new record The Information.

The pint-sized singer is to perform a series of live sessions on the day, and the station is to make the album their Album of the Day. Be a bit shit if they didn't, though, what with the man himself being sat in their studio an' all.

The singer told the station a little about The Information:

"It's different from the last album, but it's sort of a continuation. It's still got the beats and good amount of hip hop tracks. It's not like Sea Change. It's not a quiet acoustic record.

"I wanted to have more of a live sound. I hate to use the word 'organic', but you hear the bass player and the drum player's mics and it's a bit messy."

The Information is to be followed by a single, 'Cell Phone's Dead', on October 9.
