Geoff Barrow hooked up with Billy Fuller and Matt Williams to form the band Beak>, and their debut album is pretty awesome. It's got some Deerhunter aesthetic to it in the drums and bass ("I Know" especially), which is why I said I'd call it Atlas Sound day... well, I guess Deerhunter day would make more sense. Whatevs.

I'd label the album as progressive rock, but it has a lot of slower moments, so maybe just rock fits better. Regardless, it's one of my favorite albums of the year.  Such great cohesiveness and listenability.

Stream or download it at bandcamp.

And as always, friend them on MySpace where you can check out their December European tour dates and a couple live videos.
