Clipd Beaks Join the Lovepump

08/27/07
. (PR) Groundbreaking record label Lovepump United (HEALTH, Ghengis Tron) announced today the upcoming release of Hoarse Lords, the debut full-length by Clipd Beaks on November 6th, 2007.

The creation of Hoarse Lords began in the summer of 2005 when Clipd Beaks relocated from Minnesota to Oakland, California. Influenced by hobo culture, the drugged-up hyphy sounds currently dominating Bay Area airwaves, and underground "Neu San Francisco" warehouse parties where techno bangers fade into tribal noise jams, everything on Hoarse Lords is turned up to 11. Harsh and distorted, it's a fitting new sound for a band that references "clipping" in their name, and feels every bit as sick and violent as a severed, bleeding beak.

Formed in 2003, Clipd Beaks started off with little more than a battered Arp Axxe synthesizer and a microphone but quickly set about marking off its own turf at the intersection of psychedelic post-punk and futuristic noise. Bassist Scott Ecklein and drummer Ray Benjamin met at age seven and have played music together ever since. The nascent Beaks rhythm section met guitarist/synthesist Greg Pritchard inadvertently when, during his "reactionary prepubescent punk" phase, he violently beat on one of Ray's drums while calling them wankers due to their pre-teen band's sonic similarities to Smashing Pumpkins.

Tracks: 01. Melter 02. Wrathscapes 03. Manipulator 04. High on Charms 05. Hoarse Lords 06. We Will Bomb You (We Will) 07. Woo Melodies 08. Black Glass 09. Let It Win
