Sublime, delicate and gorgeous. Sea Change was such a reflective, beautiful album that somehow makes sadness appealing. Taking a break from genre hopping, blips and bleeps and experimentation, Beck made a timeless album that will sound poignant and fresh and have the emotional weight fifteen years from now.
"The Golden Age" is bittersweet and despite being fueled mainly by acoustic guitar, pleasingly spacey. It's hard to pick just one song from Sea Change, but this one has everything. Embrace the melancholy, it looks good on you!
