London duo Crushed Beaks have shared an independently recorded performance of their sinewy garage-rock stomper ‘Feelers’.
Drawn from their debut EP, Tropes, out on 16 September, the track is given a fresh injection of urgency away from studio sessions and endless overdubs, Matthew’s knotted guitar rhythms and gurgled vocals glinting like a wound opened up from toing and froing with Alex’s powerhouse percussion. An impressively tactile clip from UK garage-rock’s sharpest new duo.
Tropes is due for release on 16 September via ASL Records, with the band playing The Lexington, London on 19 September.
