Beacon - How Drie A Cinder [Indie Exclusive Magma Red Vinyl]

Beacon shape How Drie a Cinder around transformation, loss, and late-night electronic movement, taking the album title from a line in John Donne's 1611 elegy An Anatomy of the World. Jacob Gossett and Thomas Mullarney III bring the Brooklyn duo's sound into a more kinetic frame, balancing hushed vocals, synth pressure, dance-floor rhythm, and reflective writing. This retail exclusive Magma Red vinyl LP gives the album a vivid red and black visual identity.

"Cinder" sets the tone with swelling synth chords, a high-energy shuffle, and lyrics about life-altering change. "Giving You Up" follows with a spare 2-step feel, distant vocal details, and a sense of destruction that turns inward. "See Your Face" and "Sun Dark, New Year" push the record toward harder club momentum, while "The Nightjar" explores dubby halftime space and "Shore Leave" brings a softer R&B comedown into the sequence. "Over in No Time" and "Save Ya" frame the album at the opening and close.

The album captures Beacon at a clear point of reinvention, using body music and intimate writing as two sides of the same emotional process. Its twelve-track program moves from the opening pull of "Over in No Time" through "Cinder," "Giving You Up," "The Nightjar," and the closing track "Save Ya." The Magma Red pressing uses a red base with black smoke-like movement throughout the vinyl.
