BEAK>

A couple of weeks ago I went to the Scala in Kings Cross to see the slow doom rock of Dylan Carlson’s band Earth. I’d never seen Earth play before and I had apprehensions prior to the gig as to weather their one pace -that pace being very slow- samey music would work live. They only played for an hour and in truth that was about right, any longer and my attention would have waned.
But I was really impressed with the support act BEAK>. I didn’t know much about them, only that the Portishead member and producer Geoff Barrow was in them. Concise post-rock-krautrock that’s atmospheric and electronic in places.
I’ve since purchased their self-titled album and it didn’t disappoint.
