If the world of inc.'s and Autre Ne Veut's and How to Dress Well's—the latter with whom Beacon toured last fall—were turned into a table setting, Beacon would be the precise, delicately curved stemware. The Brooklyn R&B-ish duo's debut full-length, The Ways We Separate, comes out April 30th via Ghostly, who also released their first two EPs, No Body and For Now. The first single,"Bring You Back," opens with a gorgeous harp-thing hitting not exactly when you expect it, then rolls out crunchy kicks and pleading singing that sounds not unlike Thom Yorke. Pour yourself something crisp and floral, then stream it below.
