Delightfully unkempt Londoners Crushed Beaks practically shut down the internet with the release of ‘Sun Dogs’ a couple of weeks back – a track that we were very happy to premiere. Today we are doing the double, so to speak, with the video to ‘Close-Ups’, the a-side from the duo’s forthcoming single.
‘Close-Ups’ is rather brasher than its predecessor, seeing the band turn the reverb down from 11 to about 8 and a half, and adding a winning combination of staccato guitar, deliciously yelped vocals – and an excellent video that seems to culminate in guitarist Matt choking to death on some milk.
‘Close-Ups’/‘Sun Dogs’ is out 21 November on Too Pure.
