BEAK> – “Life Goes On”

BEAK>, the krautrock-infused trio that features Portishead’s Geoff Barrow, released their third album >>> late last year. They’re about to head out on a largely sold-out European tour and a string of summer festival dates, and to celebrate, they’re announcing a new forthcoming EP and sharing its title track.

According to a press release, “Life Goes On” was “inspired directly from a recent trip to Mexico City for a festival when the band awoke to the sound of a distorted young girls’ voice bellowing across the city. Further investigation revealed the source as a recording used by scrap-collecting carts urging people to bring out old beds and washing machines.”

“Life Goes On” opens with a clip of the voice they heard before launching into a woozy, noisy groove. Listen to it below.
