Scientologist homeboy Beck Hanson is nearly finished with a new album, which will be released next month, and has started scheduling West Coast tour dates. When he is not playing festivals, he'll be touring with an assortment of opening acts including Cold War Kids, Spoon and MGMT.
Though neither his publicist nor his label would confirm any of it, MTV News has spoken to several individuals close to Beck, and they all tell us that he’s gearing up to release a brand new album in the very near future — think the next 4-6 weeks — through the Universal Music Group.
And that’s not all — we’ve also heard that said album will be produced by Danger Mouse and feature collaborations with a host of artists, including Cat Power.
