On record, Beck takes that slice of U.K. indie history and gilds it in a style that\u2019s reminiscent of the <em>Sea Change\/<\/em><em>Morning Phase<\/em> side of his catalog. (Like both those albums, Beck\u2019s \u201cTarantula\u201d features an orchestral arrangement by his father, David Campbell.) It sounded even grander on <em>The Late Late Show<\/em>, thanks to an all-star indie-pop backing vocal group including Feist, Bat For Lashes\u2019 Natasha Khan and the Bird And The Bee\u2019s Inara George, and the L.A.
