Formed in 2009 in Bristol, England, Beak> is an experimental electronic rock trio known for their improvisational approach and distinctive sound. The original lineup featured Geoff Barrow (Portishead), Billy Fuller (Robert Plant's Sensational Space Shifters), and Matt Williams (Team Brick). In 2016, Will Young (Moon Gangs) replaced Williams. Their music blends elements of krautrock, electronic, and experimental rock, drawing inspiration from bands like Can and Neu!. Beak> has released four studio albums, including their latest, ">>>>" in 2024. In September 2024, Barrow announced his departure to focus on other projects.
