Beck’s latest creative flourish comes two years after the release of his Song Reader collection of sheet music. The new all- star album, Warby Parker Presents Beck Song Reader, presents the first incarnation of his sheet music project. The collaborative record will feature only one track with Beck himself and a veritable medley of artists from Jack White to Jack Black, and every color in between.

The collection features studio-quality debuts of songs previously only played live either by Beck or at one of the Song Reader concerts from the past few years, like at the Walt Disney Concert Hall last November.

Beck discussed the collection saying, “these interpretations of songs from the Song Reader book have surpassed what I could have imagined when putting the book together… These interpretations have made the book something new — something better.”

The July 29th album release of the new edition Song Reader book coincides with the release of the limited-edition Beck collaboration “black cherry” Carmichael Frames. The trendy eyeglass company along with Capitol Records worked with Beck and producer Randall Poster, of Wes Anderson and Martin Scorsese collaboration fame, to mold the incarnation project. All proceeds from the album will benefit the 826 National, a nonprofit helping students ages six to eighteen with creative writing. For every pair of frames sold, a pair will also be distributed to someone in need through Warby Parker’s Buy a Pair, Give a Pair program.
