Beacon: Escapements (Colored Vinyl) Vinyl LP

Sophomore studio album from New York’s Beacon. Escapements was recorded after the band spent time on the road in support of their debut, The Ways We Separate. The band flirts with an ambient edge through their electro pop sound. Thomas Mullarney III’s vocals float effortlessly through the duo’s bass heavy productions. There’s a little bit of something for everyone here, driving uptempo tracks share space with more downtempo moments. Includes the songs: “Preserve,” “Escapements,” and “IM U.”Eleven tracks in all. Released by Ghostly International on limited edition metallic silver vinyl with a download code.
