Beck contributed a song called “Looking For A Sign” ( now available through iTunes worldwide ) for the film Jeff, Who Lives At Home – it’s in theaters now! Beck has contributed music to artist Doug Aitken’s piece “Song 1,” a 360 degree film that will be projected onto the exterior of the Hirshhorn Museum, in Washington DC. The piece uses versions and treatments of the song “I Only Have Eyes For You” as done by the Doo Wop group, The Flamingos, covered by James Murphy, Beck, Devendra Banhart, and No Age. The exhibition runs from March 22-May 13. Read more here. Oliver Peoples presents Beck’s Double Helix, a special limited edition sunglass collaboration inspired by his personal collection of deadstock 80′s sunglasses.
