Crushed Beaks - Scatter

Review by Russell Warfield

It’s an album which could do with more detail.»

London fuzz-pop threesome Crushed Beaks release their debut album 'Scatter' on Matilda Records. The horror movies of Dario Argento has clearly influenced their intense lyricism, the ideal counterpart to their heady mix of garage rock and northern soul. Written in a gloomy basement where they rehearse in Shoreditch, the recording took place in a studio owned by Fabio Frizzi in Rome. A film composer best known for his work with Lucio Fulci and the soundtracks for City of the Living Dead and The Beyond, Frizzi met the boys at a Halloween show and invited them over to record. Their love and appreciation of Horror bleeds into their creative process as well as their music. It makes for an intense, action packed ride.
