BECK ZEGANS RELEASES NEW SINGLE "RIDDLE"

Posted on May 11th, 2026

Beck Zegans is sharing her new song “Riddle,” the third and final single from her forthcoming album Engraving Of Armor. Featuring El Kempner of Palehound (whose band Zegans also plays in) on guitar, the song is a rhythmic, sinuous, and slow-burning journey. “Every record has a problem child and I’d say this time it was 'Riddle,'” she explains. “I had an idea that this song could be something odd and fun to add but it took a lot of experimentation to figure it out. We kept adding new synths and sound effects and different layers, I changed the melody completely at one point, we turned the main guitar riff into a synth riff, and in the end we decided to just peel most of what we did back and just let it be jarring.”

“Riddle” follows additional album tracks “Love In The End Times” and “I Want You,” which exemplify how Zegans’ album soars and shimmers.
