Beacon

Like fellow duos Telefon Tel Aviv and Junior Boys before them, Beacon creatively incorporate elements of contemporary R&B and underground club music while emphasizing songwriting as much as sound design. Across a across a handful of EPs and the succinct albums The Ways We Separate (2013), Escapements (2016), and Gravity Pairs (2018), Beacon were one of the most consistent artists on the Ghostly International label in the 2010s. Independent in the 2020s, they've continued to steadily refine their predominantly downtempo and tender approach with the full-length Along the Lethe among their later releases.
