Beck offers a taste of new album

Two weeks from today, Beck will release his much-awaited eighth studio album, Modern Guilt, on Interscope Records. By now, we know a lot about the upcoming album - from the collaborations with Danger Mouse and Cat Power to the names of the LP’s 10 tracks.

But aside from a few bootleg performance videos and an occasional myspace stream, the music world has yet to hear any actual sounds from Modern Guilt, that was until yesterday, after the singer/songwriter released a brand new album promo on Amazon.com.

In the black and white clip, songs “Walls”, “Youthless”, and “Modern Guilt” are previewed for fans to start memorizing. It’s a “cheeky” video, nonetheless, and one that’s sure to draw some hype, if it’s not already peaking already.

Not enough for you? Play.com has samples of all 10 songs, while iLike has two songs streaming for you to enjoy.
