Laba sano ka hor Beck Waxa uu ku dhawaaqay in uu daabici doono 'Hees Reader', buug aan la daabicin oo ka kooban buundooyin muusig oo ka kooban 20 hees (iyo in ka badan 100 bog oo farshaxan ah) oo la maqli karo oo keliya haddii nuxurka lagu tarjumo qalab muusig, qaar badan oo ka mid ah hindisayaasha goobta muusiga ugu asalka ah sanadihii ugu dambeeyay. Tan iyo markii Song Reader lagu sii daayay muusikada xaashida ah Diisambar 2012, Beck marar dhif ah ayuu soo bandhigay heeso heeso ah waxaana had iyo jeer si gaar ah loo soo bandhigay.
Talaadadii hore (8), oo ku beegan dhalashadiisii 44aad, fannaan-yaqaanka caanka ah ee California ayaa ku dhawaaqay inuu ugu dambeyntii keenay heesahaas istuudiyaha duubista iyo in codka codka ah ee Akhristaha Heesta waxa la sii dayn doonaa July 29 ee soo socota. Inkasta oo dhammaan heesaha uu qoray Beck, kaliya jaranjarada Jannada ayaa loo sameeyay sida soloist.
Sagaal iyo tobankii hees ee hadhayna waa la wada qaaday martida raaxada, sida Jack White, Norah Jones, Jarvis Cocker (Pulp), Jeff Tweedy (Wilco), Laura Marling, David Johansen (New York Dolls), Bob Forrest (Thelonious Monster) iyo majaajiliiste Jack Black. Fanaanka ayaa shaaca ka qaaday in fikradda duubista heesahan ay ka timid dhageysiga bandhigyada fannaaniinta kale. Beck ayaa bayaan ku xusay: "Aad baan ula dhacsanahay markaan maqlo sida ay fannaaniintani u habeeyeen heesahan oo ay hawshu soo bandhigtay in wax-qabadku uu yahay qaybta nolosha soo socota. Fasiraadahani waxay ka dhigeen buugga wax cusub, wax ka wanaagsan."
