Beck Posts New Track

American songwriter Beck has posted a new track on his website, which could infuriate Fiery Furnaces.

It's one of the most unlikely indie rock rows ClashMusic have come across. Sure, not everyone is a fan of Radiohead with some music fans failing to swoon for their melancholic mixture of rock and electronica.

But Fiery Furnaces just seem to hate the Oxford giants. Recent interviews have seen singer Matthew Friedberger take aim at the band, labelling them "bogus" for releasing a recent download.

A tribute to Britain's last First World War veteran, the Brooklyn singer instead though 'Harry Patch' was indebted to an American composer. Lambasting Radiohead for using Harry Partch as a reference point, the singer went on to criticise Beck for good measure.

In a jokey statement Fiery Furnaces claimed that: "Matt would have much preferred to insult Beck but he is too afraid of Scientologists".

Now Beck has uploaded a new song to his official site which coincidentally pays tribute to Harry Partch. A renowned composer Partch helped introduce serial elements into modern classical music.

Uploaded yesterday (November 18th) the song 'Harry Partch' is a fitting tribute to the legendary composer. A statement on Beck's website reads:

"It's a tribute to the composer and his desire to make the body and music unified into what he termed 'Corporeality'... (The song) employs Partch's 43-tone scale, which expands conventional tonality into a broader variation of frequencies and resonances."

Of course, Beck has been busy of late launching his 'Record Club'. A series of unique cover versions, the singer recently covered 'The Velvet Underground & Nico' in its entirety.
