Ghostly International

Thomas Mullarney and Jacob Gossett, aka Brooklyn duo Beacon, introduced themselves to the world with the No Body and For Now EPs, both released last year on Ghostly International. The EPs were united by minimalist, R&amp;B-influenced instrumentation, and also by a lyrical theme, with both serving as meditations on the darkness that underpins the most intense of human emotions: love. The duo's debut album 'The Ways We Separate' both consolidates and develops these ideas. The album focuses, as the title suggests, on the idea of separation - both within the context of relationships and in a more intimate, psychological sense. While the abiding mood remains that of late-night introspection, the production draws from elements of hip hop and a wide gamut of electronic music, marrying intricate beats and subtle textures to honeyed pop melodies that belie the album's conceptual depth. Rarely has bleakness sounded so pretty - this is a record that's deceptively, compellingly beautiful, an exploration of a place both discomfiting and darkly seductive.
