premiere: Mind Bath – Siempre
Montreal's Michael Brock aka Mind Bath returns with a steamy, intensely romantic slow jam, written and recorded "a couple hours after a week of quality time with a long distance lover".

Tess Roby x gorilla vs. bear takeover: Eliot Roby
Eliot Roby is my brother, who wrote and recorded all of the guitar arrangements on Beacon. Often people ask me how it is to work with a sibling, and the answer is that it is both wonderful and difficult...
