"Necessary Evil" isn't a new Beck single. Instead, it's one of those "extras" that are promised on the cover of the UK Deluxe Edition release of his recent album, Modern Guilt. Somehow, this track makes Modern Guilt "deluxe," but I'm not hearing it here--the track plays like a bored, '60s-aping snooze fest, sort of like most of Modern Guilt.
Modern Guilt Deluxe Edition is out now through UK iTunes. [Stereogum]
