Ride Lonesome is the upcoming fifteenth studio album by American musician Beck. It is set to be released September 18, 2026 via Capitol Records. It is the first studio album Beck has released since the 2019 release of Hyperspace, marking his longest gap between studio albums.
Background
In April 2025, Beck said he was working on an orchestral album after performing a two night residency at the Royal Albert Hall in London.[1] On January 29, 2026, Beck released the compilation album Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime that featured covers and rarities.[2]
The lead single and title track, "Ride Lonesome", was released on April 20, 2026, alongside a music video and the announcement of a tour of the United States and Canada throughout September and October 2026.[3] A version of the single featuring Sierra Ferrell released on June 26.
On July 15, 2026, Beck fully announced the album and released a second single, "In the Night", along with a music video featuring Denis Lavant.[4]
A third single, "Disappearing Act", released August 19, 2026.[5]
Writing and recording
Ride Lonesome was recorded in Room B at United Studios in Hollywood with Beck reuniting with musicians who had previously played on his albums Mutations (1998), Sea Change (2002), and Morning Phase (2014). They include Smokey Hormel, Joey Waronker, Justin Meldal-Johnsen, Roger Joseph Manning Jr. and Jason Falkner.[6] Beck said the return to United Studios fostered "a sound that's come together over the decades of working together" and that, despite its familiarity, the band could still find "new sounds and emotional textures" in the collaborative process.[7] The album was produced by Beck and mixed by Nigel Godrich.[8]
