Today's music is from the lead single off a new album by Beck, his first original album in six years. He calls "Morning Phase" a sequel to his 2002 hit record, "Sea Change." We played the "Blue Moon" track this morning, which Beck says is inspired by a biography of Elvis Presley that he'd been meaning to read for years.

The Current's Steve Seel has this review of the full album.

You can listen to it on NPR's First Listen.
