Nature Proper by Beards
Claire Adams ( Commiserations ), Mathew Dixon ( Azores ) and Kathryn Gray ( Ygrec / Mia La Metta ) have been making music together as Beards since 2007.
"Nature Proper" is the second full length album from Beards. These 10 tracks are the product of a honed down set and have been recorded with all the energy intact at Ouse Studio, Leeds. Following on from previous release B rick By Boulder's tightly wound noisy disco stomps, this album sees experiments in post punk consisting of twitchy guitar riffs left out in the sun to dry, taut and temperamental bass lines with a tendency to blowout into a fuzzquake, drums made of spiky esoteric pattern pieces repeated as necessary and lyrics which tell stories sang straight from the belly.
