Menacing and paranoid, this second album makes satisfying sense in 2012, and even leaves you grateful to live in a chaotic world.

The loopy paradox of >>, and what makes it so addictive, is the forward momentum that sounds both like spacing out and working hard.

>> manages to keep the core qualities of the genre intact while also bringing an accessibility to the genre that has rarely been attempted.

Primal but denatured, >> leaves you feeling wired, lethal and focused; dehumanized.

While retaining the eerie, claustrophobic atmosphere of its predecessor, the second LP from Portishead mastermind Geoff Barrow's krautrock project boasts a brisker, more purposeful sequence.

With this album, Beak> present us with an atmosphere of unsettling sounds that legitimize themselves via repetition, leading to a laid back yet uneasy experience.
We have here the distorted bass, the distant unreal vocals, and the muffled, yet distinct, percusion; all of which work toghether in order to bring beak's taste of krautrok to us.
