Beck has told how Danger Mouse was only supposed to produce one of his song's, but eventually the pair recorded the whole of new album 'Modern Guilt' together.
"We were already friends, so I called him and said, 'Let's do a record'," Beck told BBC 6Music. "But he said, 'Well, I don't have time so we'll do one song.'
"We did the first song on the album and then decided that there was a whole record there. A couple of months later - we had a whole record."
Beck also explained how their different backgrounds gelled together in the studio: "[His] approach comes more from the hip-hop and electronic world, but I apply that to more traditional songwriting and rock and folk - and bring those elements into it."
"He brought all the beats so that set the tone for the record. These rhythms gave me the ideas for these songs and so that's kinda how we came together."
'Modern Guilt' was released this week via XL Recordings.
