about

BEAM SPLITTER'S second duo release "SPLIT JAW" has found its home on Nat Baldwin's Tripticks Tapes. This bite size format packs an entire universe of the duo's crafted sputter, breath and glitch inside its forty-five minute magnetic tape loop. The BEAMs have been touring globally since 2015, playing close to two hundred concerts, in a wide variety of rooms - from cellars to art spaces to festivals stages, bringing their own brand of closely amplified dialog which is as highly intimate as it is equal amounts raw and entirely exposed. Since their last release "Rough Tongue" on Corvo Records, the two have brought in the use of simple analogue electronics to offset their hyper extended physical play and have been pushing new territories with this augmented set up.

"SPLIT JAW" is one third introspective Berlin studio production and the rest, live from a splintering concert given at Wels Unlimited Festival in Austria, November 5, their last concert of 2022 where audience and the duo alike giving it their all center of room, split open like hollow bones head to clavicle, muscles twitching and air spewing, breaking ground and mending it with alien hums.

Sweet noisy avant-garde jazz with a rocky edge and a punk spirit, not to mention plenty of non-standard instrumentation and a good sense of humour. DoomZappo
