Beak> and Mount Kimbie will join Massive Attack
Release Athens 2024 welcomes Beak> and Mount, on Wednesday July 17th, at Plateia Nerou. The group of Portishead’s Geoff Barrow and the London-based group that has been at the forefront of the British underground for fifteen years, will join Massive Attack for one of the most exciting nights of the summer.
Beak> currently consists of Geoff Barrow from Portishead, Will Young, Robert Plant’s bassist, and Billy Fuller aka Moon Gangs. With influences ranging from Krautrock to experimental / electronic music, Beak> released their self-titled debut album in 2009, which was notable for its improvisational nature.
Since then, they have recorded two more studio albums, scored the soundtrack for Tom Geen’s psychological drama “Couple In A Hole” and released a number of great singles including “Sex Music”, “The Meader” and most recently “Kosmik Musik”, the music accompaniment to Joe Currie and Ben Wheatley’s sci-fi graphic novel.
To this day, they have played hundreds of shows across Europe and America, earning a well-deserved following and a reputation as a great live band who bring something completely different to every show.

Formed in London in 2008 by Dominic Maker and Kai Campos, Mount Kimbie have spent the last fifteen years crafting a vast catalogue of the most seminal and influential music to emerge from the capital’s vibrant music scene.
From their debut “Crooks & Lovers” (2010), which topped over 30 Best Albums of the Decade lists (including Pitchfork, Mixmag, Resident Advisor and NME), to the release of “The Sunset Violent” a few weeks ago, the band continued to evolve from one of the leading acts in British electronic music to one of the most innovative bands in modern indie.
With long term collaborators, Andrea Balency-Béarn and Marc Pell, now full-time members of the group, Mount Kimbie come to Plateia Nerou to present their adventurous music and, together with Massive Attack and Beak>, give us one the most intriguing nights of the summer.
