Portishead's Geoff Barrow is a goddamn genius. He's not exactly the most prolific artist on the scene, but 2018 seems to be a lucky number for the fans. His recent soundtrack for Annihilation (with Ben Salisbury) was nothing short of brilliant and now his other band Beak > has dropped a krautrock-esque (lots of scrabble points for that genre) instrumental called "Allé Sauvage", played live and shot by Portishead-collaborator John Minton. A new album should be coming soon.

BEAK〉 return with brand new instrumental track "Allé Sauvage". The music comes as a live performance collaboration with video artist John Minton (Portishead, Savages). "Alle Sauvage" is the first track taken from their forthcoming album to be released on Invada Records/Temporary Residence. This is the first new music from BEAK〉 since Sex Music was released last Summer.

Sidenote: Maybe it's the instrumental "played live" element, maybe it's the krautrock-references, but it does remind me a lot of Soulwax' side project Die Verboten on DEEWEE. Maybe. Or maybe I'm just putting this in because Die Verboten is underrated. Yeah, that's probably it. Still, go check it out, ok?
