Critic Reviews

80
The Skinny

Musically, Thomas Mullarney III’s sighing vocals float over dense rhythms and deep bass, taking their cue from the icy atmospherics of James Blake as much as the narcotic ennui of The Weeknd.

70
AllMusic

The average BPM is higher through some rhythms that embrace springy house and flirt discreetly with rattling trap, but Escapements nonetheless plays best for an audience of no more than two.

70
Clash

This is a strong record that's all the more powerful for being so wonderfully, majestically disjointed.

64
Resident Advisor

Escapements, Beacon's second album, continues the move towards the dance floor heard on last year's L1 EP.
