Data Insight
A Godrich record that behaves like a Dust Brothers one, which makes it the odd album out: the quiet producer handles the busy material. Beck writes all fifteen tracks, and the album is the longest he had released to that point.
The Information is Beck's tenth album, released on 3 October 2006 through Interscope and produced by Nigel Godrich. Fifteen tracks drawing on electro-funk, hip hop and psychedelia. It reached number 7 on the Billboard 200.
