beaming - horseshoe Vinyl LP

Are we having fun yet? After years building their respective legacies in the independent music scene, Derek Ted and Braden Lawrence let this question guide the creation of their latest project: beaming, a playful indie pop venture built around an ethos of curiosity, collaboration, and levity. 

The duo’s self-titled EP introduced the project in June 2025 with four infectious songs at the intersection of pop, rock, and folk. This comes as no surprise given the band’s pedigree: Braden spent over a decade playing in Philadelphia-based indie darling The Districts, while Derek is a prolific producer who has lent his talents to rising stars like Odie Leigh, Runnner, and Field Medic.

beaming's EP garnered praise from outlets including Paste, The Daily Music Report, and Our Culture, and several songs found homes on top Spotify editorial playlists like All New Indie, Fresh Folk, and undercurrents. Now, the band has a busy year ahead — in addition to rolling out their debut LP, they’ll be supporting Field Medic on his North American tour this spring.

As they look toward their first full-length record as beaming, Derek and Braden only really have one firm plan: keep bringing people together to create art and make memories. The music industry may be more isolating than ever, but the music community remains full of the joy and collaboration that keep artists coming back time and time again. “There’s something special that happens when a room full of people all make something together,” says Derek. “The right people.”
