Beck Brings Shimmering Pop Song Wow to Colbert


OnThe Late Show With Stephen Colbert WednesdayBeck performed his euphoric song Wow, off his last albumColors.

Becks backing band expertly recreated the tracks subtle groove, its swift drums and spacey synths. Beck, of course, busted out some of his signature dance moves as he tore through the song, punctuating delightfully offbeat lyrics like, Standing on the lawn doin jiu jitsu/ Girl in a bikini with the Lamborghini shih tzu.

Beck released Colors last October and has spent much of the past year on the road in support of the album. Hes set to wrap the current leg of his North American tour tomorrow, July 20th, in Philadelphia, after which hell play Outside Lands in San Francisco in August. On September 13th, Beck will launch another North American run in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
