Beck has announced he's to start a new online covers project featuring some big name friends including MGMT, Devendra Banhart and Jamie Lidell.
They'll all be part of a new section/project called Record Club on his soon to be revamped website. The idea behind the project is that Beck ropes in some of his musician friends to record a cover of an entire album in one day. To make sure they capture an immediate, live feel there'll be no rehearsals or arrangements done beforehand.
The covered album will then be slowly released online with a song a week being uploaded to Beck's website and the websites of the musicians involved each record. The first album announced for the project is The Velvet Underground and Nico. Covering that in 24 hours without rehearsal, not something you'd imagine many musicians would do on their day off...
Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich will also be involved in future recordings.
