Release Notes:
Using drums, bass, synthesizers, samplers, and one broken
guitar, CLIPD BEAKS create a thick wall of sound that's
backed with pulsing beats and spiked with subliminal lyrics
delivered in the tense, ecstatic tones of a street preacher.
Their debut EP Preyers offers a kaleidoscopic view into
their collective mind, a sonic galaxy that encompasses
Factory Records, This Heat, the KLF, and ambient
Krautrock, plus acid-damaged raps about Abu Gihraib.
Recorded in late 2004, Preyers documents the anxiety of
5 boys growing into men in George Bush's America and
leaving their placid Midwest homes behind to venture into
the unknown. Opening with "Nuclear Arab" and its pointed
question, "How long will we live inside of it knowing that
it's wrong?", the record progresses through the moody,
claustrophobic psychedelica of No Horizons, the aggro
dance workout "We Will Bomb You (We Will)", and the
blissful shoegazer epic "Messd-Up Desert/Hash Angels"
before concluding with the atmospheric pop of "Smoke
Me When I'm Gone" and its droning mantra, "earth,
moon, trees, skies, animals and the sun". I won't tell
anyone". Firmly rejecting the culture of fear and blindness
that has poisoned our society, the music of CLIPD BEAKS
is ultimately a celebration of the joy of finding the true
meaning of freedom through musical expression and
community.
