Beck: Beautiful Monstrosity

Beck: Beautiful Monstrosity

2000 • 235 pages

Beck Hansen`s 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. His concerts are always sell-outs. Beck`s life story is as extraordinary as the records he produces. His grandfather was one of the leaders of the 1960s 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" tells the full story of Beck Hansen and explores the mythology that already surrounds this young man.
