The third pressing of the BEAK> album on BLUE vinyl is now in stock and wont hang around for long. The 1st two pressings (white / black colored vinyl) sold out a couple of months ago. We have pressed around 500 copies of the latest and probably have around 35 copies left after the pre-sale.

The new BEAK> 4 track EP "WULFSTAN" is also now in stock and is flying out. The majority of these were taken on the road last week when the band supported CHRIS CUNNINGHAM on his UK tour. Some more of these will be held back for forthcoming BEAK> live dates, but the majority of these have been sold as part of our "pre-sale". We have around 50 left - so act fast if you want one. THESE ARE NOT AVAILABLE IN THE SHOPS. Only from the Invada Website or when the band play live.

What the press have said about BEAK>
"an exercise in pecking the boundaries of experimentation"
NME

"explores the unmathematical, analogue grooves of Krautrock,
with driving motorik beats, hypnotic basslines,
intense swells of organ and mantric vocals"
The Daily Telegraph 4 stars

"veers from Pink Floydian ambience to doom rock"
The Times 4 stars

"metronomic rhythms stretched like elastic; percussion as
precise as surgery"
Q 4stars

"a West Coast dope smoker's take on Neu!'s
unvarying grooves"
Mojo
