Released: March 14th 2005

Beck is back with a vengeance. Well, nothing too violent, naturally, despite the song’s forward stomping drive.

It’s been a while since we’ve seen new material from Beck, and ‘Guero’ is one of the most eagerly anticipated albums of the year, even though it leaked months before release. Reminiscent in style of ‘Devil’s Haircut’, ‘E-Pro’ is a strong comeback single. The pervasive “na na na”s are at it again (perhaps it’s an epidemic?) making this quite the catchy tune from even the first listen. Let’s not even try and find a meaning in there; it doesn’t matter.

It’s been said the time of experimentation is over, he’s found his style, but Beck may surprise yet. Especially using ‘E-Pro’ as an example.
