Beak> – “Beak>” – [Ipecac Recordings]

cinder   12/30/2010   A Library, CD

Beak> (no, that’s not a typo) were formed in Bristol, early 2009, by 3 guys – Billy, Matt & Geoff. They liked to record their music live in one room with no overdubs or repair, using only edits to create arrangements. This band could be the cousins of Liars and Genders. Distinct basslines and drums, with odd far-away unspeakable echoed words. Repetition flows through, giving a Neu vibe on track 4. Float into track 5 for all you Mono/Godspeed fans. An easily accessible, optimistic release.
