Beck's Record Club Covers The Velvet Underground and Nico

Here's Beck's new project, Record Club, covering The Velvet Underground & Nico's "Sunday Morning"

Here's how Beck's new porject is described by Wired.

“An album will be chosen to be reinterpreted and used as a framework. Nothing rehearsed or arranged ahead of time… Musical cohorts will include folks like Devendra Banhart, Jamie Lidell, Nigel Godrich and MGMT.”

For their first project, the collective has chosen The Velvet Underground & Nico. Here's the video.
