Lump’N’Loaf Records is excited to announce the release of Keith Beck’s sixth album, Scorpio.

Compiled over the past year, primarily during the current COVID-19 pandemic, Scorpio was entirely written, performed and recorded at home by Keith himself, after many years of collaborating with various side musicians, writers and recording engineers.

Keith elaborates, “I wrote for many years with a lyricist but started working on my own lyrics during the time I had my band Zigman Bird. My strong point has always been my melodies but I feel like I’m getting better as a lyricist. I also felt that booking time at a recording facility slowed down the creative process, so I decided to record Scorpio using my home studio.

The song’s on the album span a wide range of themes and styles, from original compositions like the humorous proto-punk of “Wallet, Keys, Phone,” the lullaby balladry of “Scorpio” to some of Keith’s favorite covers, including Walker Brothers’ “The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore and Stevie Wonder’s “Higher Ground.”

1. Higher Ground
2. Me and You (Hey Bye Bye)
