Album Notes & Community Reviews
Released on the independent K Records, 'One Foot in the Grave' showcases Beck's raw anti-folk and acoustic slacker-rock roots. The record is an incredibly intimate and humorous collection of melancholic blues interpretation and surreal songwriting, characterized by apathetic vocal delivery and lo-fi charm.
