Beck Ensnares a Mouse and a Cat for His New Album
After flying solo on his last album, 2006's The Information, Beck has reportedly tapped a couple of familiar faces for his next effort. Look for Danger Mouse and Cat Power to surface on his yet-untitled album.



According to MTV News, Danger Mouse will produce Beck's new slab, with Cat Power (a.k.a. Chan Marshall) among those paying guest appearances. The release could drop as soon as within the next four to six weeks.

Gnarls Barkley's Mouse and Beck seem like a match made in heaven – as a matter of fact, a recent Slate article opined, "The Gnarls Barkley problem: They want to be Sly Stone. They're more like Beck."
