The songs on ‘Desiring’ call up a wide range of emotions. With love, lust, loneliness, grief, shame, and guilt, the songs pull the listener into a world where the desire to feel deeply is the chief purpose. The songs are varied and diverse, influenced by cinematic horror rock, sparkling dream pop, and punk. The title of the album reflects the root of the emotions explored – the desire for something more, a different outcome, transforming one feeling into another, and getting clear on who you are.

Count the days, the hours
Sleep less, devour the lonely of silence in a song
The danger in the wrong way
In fucking up what I wanna say
It’s real but it’s over, the weight of my grief comes
You’re free to love my words for you
But I’ll stay away, because in the truth I’m bound to be misunderstood
The danger in the heartache
In losing my mind over old mistakes
It’s real but it’s over
The weight of my grief comes
Freeze, do not move
Just oscillate between your human instincts
Faster than light
Calculate the rate of failure in your life
With anxious thought
You stay the same
You’re scare of me
But I’m not crazy, I’m just sad
For the love
For the heart
For the kids
For the light
For the dark
For the lonely that you feel, I’m sorry but I’m lonely too
Just leave me here to fight, fly, submit, collapse, cry

Ace of Wands, a Dream Rock band from Toronto. Surreal and beautiful, Ace of Wands creates immersive and intricate soundscapes with contrasting tones of shimmering and grinding guitars, expansive violin, and thunderous drums.

This band has some serious musical talent. "Time Drain" and "Break Glass" are really notable to me for the stellar vocal performance and punk feel they attain. The lyrics are a particular highlight. Really good flow and it doesn't come off as soulless like a lot of other music I tend to hear day to day. Awesome job Beams! Gijio
Ottawa duo Paragon Cause craft songs that occupy the space between goth and dream pop, with sublime melodies drifting in guitar haze. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 15, 2021
The Seams' jangly pop is full of lovely melodic twists and elegant turns-of-phrases delineating the quotidian details of love and romance. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 5, 2018
