One Foot in the Grave is an indie rock album by Beck, released in June of 1994 on K Records, an independent label. Like predecessor Stereopathetic Soul Manure, the album never charted. However, One Foot in the Grave strengthened Beck's critical reputation, allowing him to break into the mainstream with Odelay in 1996. His third official album, One Foot in the Grave has a strong folk influence, more pronounced than in Beck's usual eclectic style. One Foot in the Grave was recorded prior to the release of his debut album Mellow Gold, but was not released until after that album met with critical and commercial success.
The album features the production talents and occasional backing vocals of Calvin Johnson, founder of K Records. It was recorded at Dub Narcotic Studio, which was then housed in Calvin's basement.
