Beacon

Ghostly released this track by Brooklyn pair Beacon a bit early, and I don't think I initially appreciated it for what it is: elegantly restrained. "Drive" radiates delicacy; it demands a more focused listening at a higher volume -- otherwise some elements get a little lost. This doesn't have to be a bad thing, and it's a nice teaser for the rest of the album, The Ways We Separate.It is, though, quintessential indietronica in the male vocals, with a somewhat twee (read: Postal Service) sound. But "Drive" is much more meditative than that, and I already feel guilty making such an association. That lingering last note is perhaps the most representative of the song's whole impact. It serves almost as a confirmation of the artists' intentional withholding which, of course, makes me crave the whole narrative.I promise, this track will evolve with you as you listen, so don't let it slip away!
