This week, Beck and his Record Club cohorts — St. Vincent, Liars and Os Mutantes — cover INXS’ ‘Mystify,’ the fifth and final single, in the U.K. at least, from 1987’s ‘Kick.’
And now on to Side 2: Beck and his Record Club gang — St. Vincent, Liars and Os Mutantes — return today with the latest installment in their full-album cover of INXS’ 1987 hit ‘Kick’: ‘Wild Life.’
Beck’s back with track 6 — ‘The Loved One,’ a cover of an old ’60s tune by Australian band The Loved Ones — in his Record Club’s ongoing full-album cover of INXS’ 1987 hit ‘Kick.’

The ever-quirky Beck today revealed the fourth album to be covered — and the first foray into the ’80s — by his online project Record Club: the 1987 smash ‘Kick’ by INXS, which he’ll perform track-by-track with St. Vincent, Liars and Brazilian legends Os Mutantes.
