GSHA015

NEW VINYL & DIGITAL:
https://abeaconschool.bandcamp.com/album/cola

Cola, is the full-length debut from Brooklyn multi-instrumentalist Patrick J Smith, whose previous credits include playing with Modern Rivals, BLUFFING and Fiasco. Having spent the last year working on a new project called Maxband with Max from Parquet Courts, A Beacon School marks Smith’s first entirely solo effort, allowing him to indulge his every musical impulse.

"Smith adds layers of soothing guitars and vocals with ease, reaching a build-up that feels natural, without ever fully peaking." - The Fader

KCRW Music Director/Morning Becomes Eclectic host Jason Bentley:

“Like all the best music, my interest has been based on intuition mostly. The lyrical guitars, rhythmic patterns, and hushed vocals are well arranged and composed. Definitely in my wheelhouse.”

Lead single, "Algernon" was included on HypeM's Stack No. 179 featuring a curated selection of the week's most interesting tracks.
