Beck Hansen's Song Reader
There's a new project coming from one of music's most adored alt heroes, but you'll have to see it to believe it literally. Beck, who hasn't put out a record since 2008's acclaimed Modern Guilt, will release this collection of 20 original songs presented solely in the form of sheet music. Due this December via lit-scene star Dave Eggers' publishing house McSweeney's, the full-color, hand-illustrated sheets will come in their own hardcover carrying case. What will fans and dedicated DIYers choose to do with it? Internet, get ready for the deluge. Leah Greenblatt
