With their mesmerizing live performances and critically acclaimed albums like ">>" and ">>>", this talented trio continues to captivate audiences around the world with their innovative soundscapes.

Invada Records was formed in 2002 by Geoff Barrow, Ashley Anderson, and Redg Weeks. Geoff and Ashley have been collaborating since 1998 and decided to establish the label together. In 2003, Geoff started Invada Records UK, focusing on developing a roster of artists from the UK that would also be released in Australia. As the label continues to grow, Invada is expanding its distribution network worldwide.

Hot on the heels of his Quakers hip hop project and the Judge Dredd inspired / Drokk soundtrack collaboration, Geoff Barrow unveils the second Beak&gt; album, the krautrock inspired band formed with Billy Fuller and Matt Williams. Shorty after releasing it on Invada records UK and Ipecac records USA, the band went on a successful tour, playing various festival dates across europe and the u.s. buzzing from the tour, Beak&gt; then returned to the studio to start work on album 2 only to find that the time on the road had taken its toll on the band's delicately sensitive and creative nature. And, by consequence, had turned them into a truly awful-sounding pub prog-rock band. The magic had gone. It seemed that the band were thoroughly moribund. Until... one rainy afternoon in Bristol after many tortured, truly terrible recording sessions something changed. It may have been the diesel fumes from the bands tour splitter bus had worn off, others say that the band simply turned their amplifiers down. We will possibly never know the true events of that afternoon but the band began to play and, once again as before, their bleak, wobbly anti-blue note sound had returned, but this time with added synthesizers. and so... recorded in one room live (with very few overdubs) Beak&gt;&gt; is upon us.
