A Beacon School
\nyoyo
\n<\/i>(Grind Select)
\n4.5\/5<\/p>\n

A Beacon School is the work of multi-instrumentalist New Yorker Patrick J. Smith; on his debut full-length yoyo<\/i> he fuses rock and techno beats into mellow yet upbeat dream pop.<\/p>\n

What struck me first was the melodic vocals, which is one aspect of the dreamy sound, along with reverb from the guitar and techno tracks.<\/p>\n

I also enjoyed the finger-picking jazz-style guitar riffs, a refreshing change from usual guitar sounds. The drums have a subdued, minimal pattern that drives each song and mixes well with the techno tracks.<\/p>\n

I found the lyrics, which are about life and love, to be relatable. The album is good to chill to or listen to while studying. It has a calming, almost meditative, effect while the beats add a positive upbeat drive with an uplifting energy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
