Beck: Beautiful Monstrosity by Julian Palacios

Beck Hansen is one of the most influential musicians in the world. His fans include everyone from Bjork and Damon Albarn to Bono and Noel Gallagher, who describes him as his hero. His single 'Loser' was the anthem of the slacker generation and since then he has had two million-selling albums, Mellow Gold, and Odelay, both considered to be amongst the best albums of the 90s, and won a handful of Grammys and Brits. A brilliant live performer, his concerts are always sell-outs.Beck's life story is as extraordinary and fascinating as the records he produces. His grandfather was one of the leaders of the 60s avante-garde movement Fluxus, his mother was a Warhol starlet and his father a bluegrass musician. His childhood and adolescence spent in LA, Bible-belt Kansas, and the bohemian scene of Cologne led to the huge range of influences in his music, from hip-hop and punk to blues and spirituals.Beautiful Monstrosity, the first serious biography of Beck, will tell the full story and explore the mythology that already surrounds this young man. Palacios, will have access to Beck during the recording of his new album and to his family and those who work with him.
