Beck - Tarantula
A Cover of 1983 song written by the band 'Colourbox'.
It's a 'Movie Song'. Beck is no stranger to making tracks for films, his 'Movie Song' resume includes films such as Danny Boyle's 'A Life Less Ordinary', Michel Gondry's 'Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind' and Edgar White's 'Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World' (among others).
This new track 'Tarantula' dropped today and it's shipped with the new film 'Roma'. Honestly I don't know anything about this film, however from the tidbits I have read, apparently it's quite good. 'Tarantula' is actually a cover song from the 80's electronic reggae soul band 'Colourbox' Listen to it here!. Except here Beck takes this in a more 'Morning Phase' direction. The way the strings swell in and out really remind me of the smaller transitional tracks on Morning Phase. The backing vocals from 'Feist' are a nice addition to this however they are a bit buried in the mix. This release is not all that memorable but overall it's very nice and well worth a listen. Then again, anything Beck makes is worth a listen! :D
