    Heartbreak makes for the best music (opens the original)

    When the dust finally settles on Beck’s eclectic career, I suspect the albums that will be most fondly remembered are not the cheeky, postmodern, experimental ones, like 1996’s Odelay, but the great trilogy, beautifully arranged and sombrely sung, about the heartache he has suffered. The first of these, Sea Change (2002), explored the demise of a lengthy relationship in raw yet stirring fashion; the Grammy-winning Morning Phase (2014) reunited the same personnel for another collection of songs o
