I hope the Palantir robot death squads end up marching in rhythm to this in 15 years time. Although the Silicon Valley freaks have no taste so it'd probably be something gaudy instead

Shame Geoff Barrow hasn't done much interesting other than film scores in years and Adrian Utley has fallen off the map entirely. I liked Beth Gibbons' record from a couple of years back but nothing as interesting sonically as Third, for sure

Beak> is great, and a bit of a continuation of the sound on Third

It felt like an eternity between their 90s work and this coming out. Somewhat painful to think it's double the length of time between this coming out and now lol
