Beck put "Timebomb" out on iTunes on August 21, 2007, and he pitched it on his website as music for bonfires, power cuts and the tail end of summer. It sounds like it: a jittery collision of electronica, experimental rock and alternative rock, wound tight and ready to go off. A 12-inch vinyl pressing followed in November, alongside a one-track promo CD.
The sleeve starred Ryan, the dancer in the knitted Aztec Bird costume whom fans had seen bouncing around Beck's stage in the years before. The song picked up a Grammy nomination for Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance and later showed up in the racing game Midnight Club: Los Angeles.
