The style-creating trip-hop band's beatmaker gives a concert with his krautrock-cultivating band Beak> on November 29 in Pumpehuset.

Few musicians can boast of having created such a masterful musical testament as Geoff Barrow has created as a member of Portishead. But the English musician, producer and DJ is not the type to rest on his laurels. On the contrary, his career outside the legendary Bristol group is characterized by an uncompromising artistic quest that has taken him in several genre directions. Portishead's three studio albums "Dummy" (1994), "Portishead" (1997) and "Third" (2008) are, with their melancholic and soul-searching metropolitan blues, untouchable monoliths in modern popular music and largely characterized by Geoff Barrow's geeky and stylish production wizardry.

After the group's third album came out, he formed the group Beak> to get an outlet for other sides of his musical creative urge. It initially resulted in the self-titled 2009 debut, written and recorded in just 12 days, which is a terrific consciousness-expanding listening experience with delicate references to 70s German krautrock. Since then, the group has released three strong, psychedelic fluorescent studio albums - most recently ">>>" from 2018 - as well as the soundtrack for the film "Couple in a Hole" (2016) and most recently something as special as a soundtrack for a graphic novel, "Cosmic Music ” from 2022.

Geoff Barrow also has the hip-hop project Quakers, has remixed Run The Jewels and worked with artists such as Arcade Fire, Neneh Cherry, The Horrors and The Coral. He has also made music for e.g. The Banksy documentary "Exit Through the Gift Shop", the Netflix series "Black Mirror" and the science fiction films "Ex Machina" and "Annihilation".

In 2020, Beak> visited Denmark for the first time, where Undertoner's reviewer awarded the concert 4.5 out of 6 U's and concluded that Beak> was "Satan's good company". Now the group's Danish fans and other kraut aficionados can once again experience Barrow and co. live here at home, when they envelop the Pumpehuset in cosmic tones on 29 November.
