outside when narrow
the sun on the wire
lilting

to understand
the invitation
again

you felt it come true then
etched in a blinking
pattern you can’t forget

the color’s unknowing but the landing seems close
cuz it’s no different

light shifting
While all the rest fills in slowly
you find your head fizzing softly
And you swear this all feels new

But it’s no different

A Beacon School - Dot

https://fanlink.to/frantic-francis

"Frantic Francis” weaves hypnotic sounds with dreamlike imagery and a pulsing bass line, meant to simulate waking up as a child, when everything is brand new again. But it’s not supposed to be that deep either and mentions embracing mundane things, like drinking tea. After the I LOVE FISH project, we've approached songwriting for Pine Barons differently, putting more emphasis on patience, simplicity and really letting a song breathe.”

There's a mirror on the lake
Through the window,
reflections of a whirlwind passing by
Your living pictures
Oh how the rain did fall,
but you can't avoid the weather

I want it naturally,
Giving up to everything
In the water
Sinks in the water
I want it naturally,
Giving up to everything
In the water
Sinks in the water

I saw you leapt away
Another day waking up on a wave of calm
I listen, how you miss the light of the morning now,
but you can't avoid the weather

I want it naturally,
Giving up to everything
In the water
Sinks in the water
I want it naturally,
Giving up to everything
In the water
Sinks in the water

All we have is time and signs of life
Returning to the mirror,
I see the sadness leave your eyes,
And evaporate into silence

Silent island
Silent island
Silent island
Silent island
Silent

"Potion" from the album 'yoyo' by A Beacon School out on October 13, 2023 on Grind Select

Vinyl/CDs: https://bit.ly/abs-yoyo
All DSPs: https://fanlink.to/potion-jon

--

A Beacon School is the dream pop project of New York-based songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Patrick J. Smith. The songs on releases such as his full-length debut, Cola, alternate between uptempo, jangly pop nuggets, lush shoegaze and intricately-arranged electronic soundscapes.

Smith began making music as A Beacon School in 2009. A home-recorded demo single was released in 2011, and a self-titled EP by a full-band lineup appeared near the end of 2012. Smith notably played with bands such as Modern Rivals and Bluffing, and currently works with Parquet Courts' Max Savage as part of Maxband.

In 2018, A Beacon School's Cola was released by Grind Select. After receiving positive press and slowly gaining a worldwide following, an expanded vinyl edition of Cola was released in 2019 in conjunction with Fat Possum’s ‘House Arrest’ imprint, amassing over 50 million streams, tours with El Ten Eleven and Ruby Haunt and syncs on critically acclaimed shows such as Hacks and Shrinking.

Now back with his first full-length in five years, yoyo, a follow up to Cola, Smith takes his sound even further with 10 tracks that are an untainted exploration of the unconscious artistic self and the oscillation of time.

'yoyo' will be released on October 13, 2023.

where do you go?
weathered shell 
keeping nothing for yourself

kick the grass that’s poking out
from the pavement 
unannounced

made of glass
warm to the touch 
still convinced it’s not enough

even in motion
you tell me to wait
you’re dragging your feet now
it’s getting too late

total devotion 
never relayed 
you’re dragging your feet now
it’s getting too late

cross it out for me

in the corner, on the shelf
keeping nothing for yourself
can’t take back what’s in the tile
let it hold your voice a while

you’ve got it all wrong
it’s been there all along

even in motion
you tell me to wait
you’re dragging your feet now
it’s getting too late

total devotion 
never relayed 
you’re dragging your feet now
it’s getting too late

start to make it out
shyly turning luck
hold my breath and bite my tongue
don't look that way too much

it wouldn't be the first time
the ground you're on has fallen away

I'm losing count of all the days I've wasted
oh all I want's to feel like something's taking

thread pulled out
honest mistake
blue pieces scattered in your wake

you lost track of where you are
look up, it's all gone wrong

lying awake
tell me how much more I need to wait

forget about the last time 
the hold you know will fall away

I'm losing count of all the days I've wasted
oh all at once I feel like something's taking

everything I don't want to change is changing
everyone I don't want to leave is leaving
everything I want to change is staying the same
everyone that I want to stay is leaving

can you name all the places you were racing? 
can you tell just by the light which way you're facing?
everything I want to change is staying the same
every time I get less sure of what we're chasing

sometimes when gathered it starts to seep 
sometimes a glimmer will let you breathe  

can you feel the ground beneath us shaking?
can you tell by the way it leans which way it's breaking?
everything I want to change is staying the same
every night I can't bear to think how long it's taken

let's spend some time together, here for another day 
I'll dream of you forever, won't let it wash away

it feels like now or never, I lost count of the days
I'll dream of you forever, lets dream this all away 

just let it wash away
now

everything I don't want to change is changing
everyone I don't want to leave is leaving
everything I want to change is staying the same
everyone that I want to stay is leaving

I should just forget,
wash out the ink that's still left 
but how could I? 

all along, right in front of you
all this time, its been coming true
 
all along, right in front of me
all this time, perfect symmetry

I been trying to get better
I been trying to stay good
But when I get into the bottle
My motives are misunderstood

I can't remember the last time I felt right
Been hiding inside, I been locked up alone
You'd send me away if the cards had been dealt right
But I'd never forgive you for leaving all on my own

I can't stand to be with myself
Can't stand to be with myself
I Can't stand to be with myself
Can't stand to be with myself

Well I tried self improvement
I been going to the gym
But there's been so little movement
I think I'll never look like them

I can't remember the last time I saw her
It's been a while since I looked in the mirror
Call me an taxi or call me a lawyer
But there no way in hell that you're planning on leaving me here

Sunday slumming
Been looking for a reason
No payday coming
No money to speak of

Daddy's on holiday
Kicked outta the house and
I'm indebted to Sallie Mae
For a hundred thousand

Now then
I'm in deep with the man
I got a pocket full of plastic and
No way to spend it
Gonna need another lender to
Give me a hand unless
I'm headed for a bender
One-arm bandit better save me tonight

Monday morning
Ain't no time to be playing
I been calling the foreman
And nobody's paying

Pick my chin up
And head to the tables
I could be a winner
I'm willing and able

I'm in deep with the man
I got a pocket full of plastic and
No way to spend it
I'll never do it again

Caught in the grip of retail
Who knew I needed so much?
I've been hanging on every detail
This leather, soft to the touch!

I'm gonna spend my way
Through another day
But you know they say
Money can't buy love

I've got another subscription
Just leave the package at the door
Call it a savings addiction
It's the deals I'm living for

I gotta fill this void
Gonna fill it with a cardboard opioid
The only thing that I could never enjoy
Money can't buy love

Diamonds and pearls
Never again in this world
Will I work for a day
Yes I have what I need
Forever

Tight buckled,
White knuckling through another day
In paradise
I pay to survive
I am on a roll

What luck!
(They forget it)
I don't need another reminder
I'm a get down guy
I toe the line
I maintain control

Day's been turning around but then it starts
Nipping at the edges of my consciousness and in my heart
Preys in every town, it's never far
Keeping vigil over my preoccupations like a bodyguard

Poor cuckold,
Still suckling on the bosom of
My LA life
I'm staying alive
But it's getting old

I'm stuck!
(Don't forget it)
Takes a little time to remember
I'm a paradigm
I stay inside
And I horde my gold

I'll dig myself another bunker baby
You'll never take me for a ride
Hidden in an ivory tower
Cowering at the shadows in my mind

Open space
But I hear echoes bounce of walls
Then bloom
How could it be?
I never made it here in good faith
But somehow you will

Find me
Calling out to you
Somewhere
Liminal and blue
Emptiness
Has her tricks
But somewhere
The door will open through
Ah, ooh, ah

Hit the ground
My knees are bruising on the concrete
And I can't sense the flow
Of time
I cannot trust it won't deceive me
Down in the void
Hollowed and boundless
How will you

Find me
Calling out to you
Somewhere
Liminal and blue
Emptiness
Has her tricks
But somewhere
The door will open through
Ah, ooh, ah
Ooh, ah, ooh, ah

Face down
Palms on the floor
I feel a breeze
Brush skin on my back
Flowing through
Is it real?
Follow it through to the end
But somehow you will
Find me
Calling out to you
Somewhere
Liminal and blue
Emptiness
Has her tricks
But somewhere
The door will open through
Ah, ooh, ah

Somewhere, Emptiness

Written & produced by The Fountain
Mixed & mastered by Oren Ratowsky

Artwork by Anya Good

Lyrics:
My heart calls me everywhere
To seek the fountain of youth

I went out into the field
With a basket in my hand
(I feel a yearning,
And an insatiable desire)
I collected things
To put on a pedestal that I
Couldn’t keep, couldn’t be
Couldn’t understand

Another life to slip away
Was it ever even real?
Passing time, another day
It’s a trick of light

Winter, shadow
Evening star
Restore me
(Save me from oblivion)
My heart calls me everywhere
To seek the fountain of youth

I am born again
The world is a basket in my hand
(I feel a yearning)
So delusional
To follow the path that leads
To everlasting spring

Another life to slip away
(Another life)
Was it ever even real?
(Was it real?)
Passing time, another day
(It slips away)
It’s a trick of light

Winter, shadow
Evening star
Restore me
(Save me from this tedium)
My heart calls me everywhere
To seek the fountain of youth

Winter, shadow
Evening star
Restore me
(Save me from oblivion)
My heart calls me everywhere
To seek the fountain of youth

How Long Has It Been?

"Thai Angel" is off GUMDROP's self-titled debut LP.
All links: https://fanlink.tv/thai-angel

---

GUMDROP’s sound sits at the intersection of beauty and chaos; equal parts angst filled melodic darkwave and glitchy hyperpop can be found on their debut self-titled release.

The first single “Thai Angel” showcases the more nihilistic side of the duo’s sound, whereas “EYE CANDY” is pure 80’s New Wave nostalgia; both are equally dark and dreamy. Buttons’ vocals oscillate between rage driven screaming and distorted bubblegum pop vocals, an interesting juxtaposition against Shmu’s more RnB inflected vocal style, as well as unorthodox psychedelic and kaleidoscopic production. GUMDROP’s debut is no exception to Shmu’s unusual blending of styles to add new palettes and textures to an ever expanding musical universe.

Lyrical content found within spans from emotional heartache and entanglement to social unrest and the effects of late stage capitalism warping our sense of self identity. Swimming between the shallow and the deep, GUMDROP ‘s/t’ intentionally confounds and subverts musical norms with verve, aggression and a candy-like wonder. Sticky. Sweet. Aggressive.
