- Flare Acoustic Arts League — a.k.a. Flare (band) — is an experimental pop band formed by guitarist Damian Costilla and singer LD Beghtol in New York in 1996. The pair co-authored a body of intense, darkly romantic, atmospheric songs — which were deeply influenced by The Smiths, The Magnetic Fields, Love, This Mortal Coil and The Velvet Underground — that the duo performed in intimate clubs and gallery spaces in New York, eventually attracting the attention of Stephin Merritt and Gail O'Hara — both of whom were then music writers for Time Out New York and who became early supporters of the band. Beghtol was also a guest vocalist/designer for The Magnetic Fields' critically acclaimed 69 Love Songs (Merge, 1999); in 2007 he wrote a book about the album as part of Continuum's esteemed 33 1/3 series.
