Beck Reveals Album Title, Release Date

If NME.com is to believed, the new Beck album is called The Information, and is out October 2 in the UK. We assume that means it\'s coming out a day later, October 3, in the U.S. on Interscope.

As previously reported, the disc was produced by Nigel Godrich, features the songs "Cell Phone\'s Dead", "Think I\'m in Love", and "Nausea", comes with a blank cover and a sheet of stickers inside for you to make your own art, and is paired with a DVD of videos for each song.

Beck is currently on the road hitting the European festival circuit. NME reports that when he hits England\'s V Festivals on August 19 and 20, "He will be joined onstage by a group of puppets for his entire set."

if it was anyone else I would be worried but I think that Beck can pull it off

the puppet thing does conjure up "Labyrinth" images, for better or for worse
