Anyone else into these guys? Geoff Barrow from Portishead, Billy Fuller from Fuzz Against Junk and Matt Williams from Team Brick. Been listening a lot to both their albums lately. Kind of a kraut/psych/postpunk/whatever mutation with muffled vox. Heavy sound. They get stuck in motorik noodle a bit often, but I guess that's not the worst kind of noodle. I'd love to see them live.

I had high hopes for the Anika album who I presume is a Beak offshoot, I like this joint a lot, but that was it:
And having just checked the LP (via juno clips) again it does seem ok, I was at first rather (possibly) unfairly critical of the album when I realised it was mostly cover versions, but on reflection it sounds ok, I also have the hots for Anika which makes me want to like it a little more than I probably do.
She supposedly has a load of her own songs but they are a bit "out there" (her words not mine).
I think the clip I posted might be her own song.
