Beak> + Chrome Canyon

Portishead's Geoff Barrow keeps things even more minimal in Beak>, his side project with fellow Bristol natives Billy Fuller and Matt Williams. The trio takes clear inspiration from seminal krautrock outfits such as Can and Neu!, with electric-guitar noodles laid over locked-groove rhythms that build in intensity. Like-minded retrofuturist and synth fanatic Morgan Z opens as Chrome Canyon.
