Sea Change bounces back in a major way with Round the Bend, a gorgeously hypnotic, string-laden track with a tune that borrows from previous Beck musings but pushes it in an entirely new direction.
Even Beck’s voice sounds different here—warmer, more seductive, Donovan in his hippie-shaman mode. Like the rest of Sea Change, there’s a decidedly retro feel to the track, but at the same it strikes you as something no one’s ever done before—a paradox that’s as good a way of summing up Beck’s talent as any.
