    With its disjointed turns, it plays like a score to a David Lynch film: sinister, with moments of beautiful and icy-cool respite... Highly recommended.[No. 90, p.52]

    Back with album No. 2, Beak> feel more purposeful somehow.

    For all of the tension in the music, Barrow and his cohorts couldn't sound more relaxed, natural, and at home weird home.

    >> is not a pleasurable listen and it is not an easy listen, but it is an incredible one.

    It's got an energy that's usually associated with naiveté and learning instruments on the job. The trio knits their little hand-played loops together loosely, and in a certain light, there are places it unspools completely.

    The riffs are polite, the vocals maddeningly limo, and more than half the tracks are mere sketches they couldn't be bothered to colour in. [Sep 2012, p.73]
