Odelay served as a cultural keystone for the fading '90s while telegraphing all of Beck's future moves, from the soul prankster of Midnite Vultures to the melancholy troubadour of Sea Change. He had a creative breakthrough with 1996's Odelay, a co-production with the Dust Brothers that touched upon his obsessions with crate-dug samples and synthesizing elements of funk, soul, hip hop, blues, lounge music, and all other manner of found sounds. Far from the short-lived novelty act his early success might have suggested, Beck continued down his unique and ever-winding path for decades, taking on new forms with every release. The pop polymath experimented with genres and approaches to style so fluid that eventually the only thing one could expect from a new Beck record is that it would be different from the last. The ubiquity of Beck's 1994 lo-fi rap/folk slacker anthem "Loser" pointed towards one-hit-wonder status, but those predictions were punctured by the boundary-pushing work that quickly followed. ![]()
