Beck has recruited MGMT, Devendra Banhart and Wolfmother’s Andrew Stockdale to join his Record Club for a one-day, no-rehearsal studio performance of Leonard Cohen’s entire iconic Songs of Leonard Cohen. As Rolling Stone previously reported, Beck’s Record Club last tackled Velvet Underground & Nico over the course of 11 weeks — though the songs are recorded all in one day, Beck unleashes them on his Website one song a week — and now the recast Record Club returns with Banhart in the spotlight for a folky, tambourine-and-upright bass heavy rendition of Cohen’s “Suzanne.”
