Back in June we featured a lovely track from dream pop outfit DEAREST. Now the LA band are back with a new, equally lovely follow-up, ‘Beacon’.
The track fuses electronics with live instrumentation to create a dreamy, otherworldly sound. This is accenuated by lead singer Tessa Bolsover’s haunting vocals. In an email Bolsover told us that ‘Beacon’ “moves between vulnerability and confrontation. It’s not the start of a fire but the realization of one.” As the title suggests, the song burns bright and slow, like a smoky ball of incandescence above the Californian desert that the band call home.
