Beck talks about his upcoming tour of Japan, a stockpile of songs that grows faster than he is able to record them and a trans-Pacific collaboration that will just have to wait
'We've re-created the entire stage in miniature and we have puppets of all the band members," says Beck, explaining what fans can expect from his upcoming Japan tour. And he's not joking.
By always daring to be different, Beck has become one of the most enduring icons of American alternative music. Born Bek Campbell (but later taking his mother's surname, Hansen) in Los Angeles in 1970, and a lifelong Scientologist, as are his parents, he found indie fame with the breakaway success of hillbilly lo-fi, rap classic "Loser" in 1993. He's barely sat still since.
