Listening this Week: Beck’s Hyperspace (2019)

Conjuring both the sensation of loss and the general groundlessness of life, Beck captures something special here. Highlights include “Uneventful Days,” a dramatization of boredom, the joyful “Die Waiting” (with Sky Ferreira), and the sublime “Stratosphere.” However, the album is most satisfying when taken together as a whole. An exploration of liminality, Hyperspace is an adventure worth taking.
