Clipd Beaks
Preyers
Tigerbeat6

Released back in March, Preyers is a six-song EP full of avant-East-Bay-krautrock that somehow remains, for the most part, accessible pop, even on the noisy second track “No Horizons”. Opening song “Nuclear Arab” features a bass heavy, pounding low-end rhythm section and distorted vocals and has had me hitting repeat over and over. In the press earlier this year, two different entities, the Bay Guardian and Forcedexposure.com compared this Oakland quartet to P.M. Dawn. I can only hope one of them was plagiarizing, or that the comparisons were written by the same person, because, P.M. Dawn? What the fuck? “Hash Angels” sounds like a Sigur Ros song if they dropped all the made-up language bullshit. This shows up on my iTunes as Gospel & Religious—alright, I’ll kneel at the altar of Clipd Beaks.
