Geoff's is one of the most brillian music brains and he's so low profile, I love him...

[@bertiebrown581]

Geoff never stops being just fantastic.

[@theeAnteePop]

rightttt???? dude is so talented!

[@KodakKid]

It's about time people stop calling this Geoff's side project. It's a full time band and it's absolutely brilliant!!!!

[@stevenlupanko2983]

Debatable. Id probably need to go back to smoking bongs to digest this but I don't doubt he's extremely talented as a dj and mixer. I was born in Portishead and can't speak highly enough of what he did for them but personally this doesn't float my boat. We all have choices , tastes and opinions don't get so upset dude , perhaps we don't take as much l.s.d as you!!!

[@KodakKid]

@@stevenlupanko2983 I'm not getting upset man, I was saying that it's a full time band and not a side project because Beak are full time and not a side project.

[@stevenlupanko2983]

@@KodakKid You do seem irritable :-) I'm joking. Did you ever work at Kodak?

[@KodakKid]

@@stevenlupanko2983 no, they fired me for being too grumpy

[@stevenlupanko2983]

@@KodakKid haha. I worked at kodak in Portishead the easiest job I ever had. I didn't think you could get sacked from there I got drunk for a week then turned up as if nothing had happened and they didn't say much about it.

[@jdgonzo1982]

man, i'm so happy to have found these guys...was raised on Portishead so this guy on drums means a lot...and what a funky lil' drummer he is too!! loving his work...

[@karellyflo]

that's the soundtrack of my entire life, even if i heard it the first time today. Thank you BEAK and thank you KEXP

Just purchased one of they’re albums from a library sale in Los angeles, once I opened the case the pamphlet was autographed.🔥

Finally!

🍀💚

[@christopherroutsis3391]

wow!

[@therealKINDLE]

I love the fact that even though Barrow has one of the largest arrays of synthesizers imaginable in the corporeal world... we have them using a shitty little £450 Akai keyboard making remarkably organic dissonance! Though I'm sure it is used to trigger the .. Stage Phatty is that?

What is that bass pedal effect on « allé sauvage » ? Anyone ?

[@seanlynch5668]

Vincent Ligny likely EHX Synth 9 (blue pedal). Flatwounds on vintage shortscale bass is part of overall tone too.

[@piggehpumped7959]

a delay and some kind of modulation on the pitch maybe
