Album
Ride Lonesome
Ride Lonesome is the fifteenth studio album by American musician Beck, released on 18 September 2026 through Capitol Records. It follows Hyperspace, which came out in 2019, and the gap between the two is the longest he has left between studio albums.
That makes it a notable return in a career that began with Golden Feelings in 1993 and has taken in the sprawl of Odelay, the sombre turn of Sea Change and the lighter touch of Morning Phase and Colors. For anyone who has followed Beck from Mellow Gold onwards, a new record after such a long wait is a good reason to listen again and see where he has ended up.
