BEAK> consisting of Geoff Barrow (of Portishead) with Billy Fuller (Robert Plant's Sensational Space Shifters) and Will Young (Moon Gangs) is a band crafting dense and atmospheric music inspired by dub, kroutrock, and The Beach Boys in addition of the ingredients of fuzz guitar and pared-back drums oozing between grids of analogue electronics, like sludge-metal playing along to age-warped Tangerine Dream LPs.
BEAK>’s latest full-length “>>>” (2018), which is the band’s fourth studio album, garnered deserved love and full star ranks from critics around the world: ”Further supporting that demand is “>>>” itself, in which Beak> have shrugged off the slight whiff of three blokes messing about in a recording studio largely for their own amusement, and quietly written a modern classic: in its attitude, delivery, and feel, “>>>” has nothing of the side-project to it. Instead, it’s brimming with urgency and snarl, paranoia and exhaustion, and a delicious sense of modern-day relevance.” - Sam Walton/Loud and Quiet
