The new album is titled Benediction and is due out on Matador Records some time in 2011, and features appearances by Mary Lattimore and Samara Lubelski.

"It’s called Benediction, recorded in Southern California at Beck’s home studio with him producing. Beck sings and plays a little bit on it. Samara and Mary both play on it quite extensively and very, very beautifully. Beck really put them through the paces," said Moore in a recent interview with Philadelphia Weekly.
