Mono/Kenn 7" - Beak>

Beak> is a project of Geoff Barrow (of Portishead) with fellow Bristol musicians Billy Fuller (Fuzz Against Junk) and Matt Williams (Team Brick / MXLX). Their self-titled debut was released in November 2009 on Barrow's own label, Invada Records. In contrast to Barrow's perfectionism when creating music with Portishead, Beak>'s debut was recorded live in one room with no overdubs or repair, only using edits to create arrangements. All tracks were written over a twelve-day session in Bristol, England.

Add Jakko M Jakszyk, who managed to do the near-impossible—sing and play Fripp's knotty parts in the all-Crimson-alum tribute
