And so Crushed Beaks’ transition from “Yeah-Sounds-Good-But-What-Is-That-He’s-Saying” noisy scamps to bonafide alt-pop merchants is well and truly confirmed with this new track, ‘Horror Shorts’ – which we’re assuming to be influenced by micro films of the slasher variety and not, you know, actual killer cut-offs.
Listen to the track below:
‘Horror Shorts’ is the b-side to the London duo’s new single ‘Breakdown’, out 5 November on ASL Records. The band play a Rough Trade East in-store on 2 November to coincide with the release.
