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

Lyrics:
I want to love you at dinner 
I want to love you and take you out to dinner tonight 
I find the secrets that we keep, are so ice cold nice 
And if I was any brighter I'd take you to a place of class 
And get to the table on time, and fill it with your red wine glass 

I think I found a way 
To your heart 

I want to love you at dinner 
I want to love you and take you out to dinner 
I want to love you at dinner 
I want to love you then treat you right 
Oh, yes I believe that 
Dessert is in order 
Now get to the table on time, and let your wine spill all over 

I think I found a way 
To your heart

I Follow

Tearjerker

Underline: 
make another move, the time is on our side
Yours and mine
strange enough the war is only half on time

Where do we go from here? She said
It’s breaking my heart
Try as I may to hold together
But it’s falling apart

Best believe
Company is only ever two or three
Water down
Water down your wine, oh darling
I’ll show you how

Where do we go from here? She said
It’s breaking my heart
Try as I may to hold together
But it’s falling apart

Where do we go from here? She said
It’s breaking my heart
Try as I may to hold together
But it’s falling apart

From Here
