Stereopathetic Soulmanure is the second studio album by American musician Beck.[7][8] It was released on February 22, 1994, by Flipside. The album shows a strong folk influence, consisting of home recordings, studio recordings, live performances, field recordings, sound collages, and abstract noise experiments.

A lo-fi recording of largely anti-commercial nature, Stereopathetic Soulmanure is Beck's third official recording, the first two being Golden Feelings and A Western Harvest Field by Moonlight. Beck would soon return with the mostly acoustic One Foot in the Grave and Mellow Gold before recording his major label follow-up Odelay (1996).
