Heavenly Beat is the Brooklyn based solo project of former Beach Fossil’s bassist John Peña, and it certainly lives up to it’s title. the project’s latest and third release, entitled "Eucharist," is a glistening 40 minutes of refreshingly laid-back indie pop. Peña’s wispy voice elegantly floats over a procession of airy guitars, drum machine beats, and ethereal pop melodies, resulting in a record that lives up to the heavenly moniker. A fourth LP, tentatively titled either "Designer" or "Latino," is currently in the works and Peña is also gearing up for a new tour in the fall. Heavenly Beat will be returning to New York on October 9th for a performance at Baby’s All Right, and the first track’s from the upcoming LP are expected to be released sometime this summer, so be sure to keep an eye out. – Patrick Wolff
