Two years after their soundtrack for Couple In A Hole, and six whole years since their previous canonical record, Beak> are ready with another full length album. The upcoming >>> will be released on September 21st, 2018 on Invada Records and Temporary Residence in North America.
Brean Down, the the first track we get to listen, is holding the krautrock torch aloft, lighting the way for those who have never given up on neither the genre's future nor its past, with a mindset toward more accessible songwriting.
"The production and feel of the first two albums was like listening through frosted glass; a band playing behind a curtain, " says Invada manager Redg Weeks. "Now we are hearing Beak> in sharp focus, but without forfeiting what the band see as its 'wrongness.' This could be the result of having played bigger stages and festivals - something that was never part of the plan - or perhaps it is just a reaction to the infinite cut & paste fuzz pedal kraut bands on the planet."
Geoff Barrow and company are incapable of doing anything that is not of highest quality and excellence.
