Details: Product DescriptionBeckAmazon.ca »Acid casualty with a repossessed car, » croaks Beck Hansen. « Vietnam vet playin’ air guitar… »Odelay would later herald Beck as pre-Millennial jester without compare, but 1993’sMellow Gold finds Beck slumming in The City of Angels, working in a video store for four dollars an hour. Quite rightly, he’s got the blues, but there’s plenty more besides.Mellow Gold is a grimy Polaroid of fried white-trash invention. Reconciling the painfully fashionable grunge aesthetic with the drunken verbiage of the Beat Generation,Mellow Gold founded the slacker generation, and « Loser »–the opening track–became its unofficial anthem. A concept album of sorts,Mellow Gold narrated the backdrop of Los Angeles as seen from the bottom of the dustbin, framed with the impoverished strains of fractured, missing-stringed folk and ramshackle white-boy hip-hop. Time would prove, though, that Beck was no slacker;Mellow Gold provided the scrawled blueprint for Beck’s next major label album,Odelay which would prove one of the defining albums of the 1990s. –Louis Pattison
