The fourth release from Beck’s Record Club sees our favourite Scientologist turning to Australia for inspiration by recording an album-length cover of the de facto INXS’ greatest hits album Kick.

Beck’s Record Club is an informal meeting of musical mates who get together to lark about and record an album in a day.

At his official Record Club site, Beck proudly proclaims that “nothing is rehearsed or arranged ahead of time. There is no intention to ‘add to’ the original work or attempt to recreate the power of the original recording. Only to play music and document what happens.”

So far he has enlisted Feist, Devendra Banhart, MGMT, Nigel Godrich, Giovanni Ribisi, Jamie Lidell and members of Wilco to perform Record Club tributes to Skip Spence’s Oar, The Velvet Underground & Nico and Songs Of Leonard Cohen.

For the INXS record Beck has recruited St. Vincent, Liars and reunited Brazilian Tropicália group Os Mutantes to help out.

Liars man Angus Andrews tackles the lead vocals on the first track from the project Guns in the Sky, but there’s no telling what will do with New Sensation, Need You Tonight or Never Tear Us Apart.

Meanwhile, INXS is busy putting the final touches of their latest legacy damaging project – a self-tribute album of rerecorded INXS material with vocals from The Killers’ Brandon Flowers, Ben Harper and trip-hop survivor Tricky replacing self-tribute victim Michael Hutchence.
