The name Victoria Legrand has slowly crept up on us in 2009, despite Beach House not having released a single thing over the past twelve months. Her appearance with Grizzly Bear on the New Moon OST and her use of backing vocals in said band’s triumphant single of the year ‘Two Weeks‘ has helped give [...]

It took me a little while to get into Beach House at first. It took the help of a friend making a little mix tape for me which included a few songs by them. I kept asking who it was and got the same surprising answer every time. It's been a few years since they dropped Devotion all over our asses. The hype for the next LP entitled Teen Dream is almost as overwhelming as G-bear which makes a lot...

Baltimore duo Beach House have revealed details of their forthcoming third record and début on their new label-home, Sub Pop Records. The pair hauled up and moved to a church in New York for an entire month with producer Chris Coady (who's previously twiddled knobs for Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV On The Radio and Blonde Redhead) to produce their new ten-track record Teen Dreams.

Baltimore-based duo Beach House traffic in the dreamiest brand of pop, recalling bands like Mojave 3 and Mazzy Star. "Heart of Chambers" from Devotion sees Victoria Legrand's glacial organ and longing voice blending with Alex Scally's wispy guitar lines to gorgeous effect.

[10-17-2008] Baltimore has invaded NYC. Its musicians are hovering on the sidewalk of Bleecker Street, looking haggard after two weeks on the road. What do they need? Food? Sleep? Vitamins? Vegetable oil as alternative fuel? All of the above, it seems, to assure that they can make it back to Charm City. But they can't hit the road just quite yet. They've got to deliver not one, two, or three m...

More great Beach House. Lately the Baltimore duo have been giving us new songs and revamped oldies via trains and automobiles, but this dose comes from the studio. Alex and Victoria have taped a new single "Used To Be," to be joined by a 4-track version of the debut's "Apple Orchard" on a 7" out next month. Since the song's coming in this stand-alone format, it may not be fair to think of it as...

Baltimore band Beach House just put a new song called "Used to Be" up online. It's pretty good, with the very familiar lazy/hazy vocals over top a simple, almost carousel sounding melody. Initially it sounds like a xylophone, but as the song goes on sounds more like an organ. Really good song, has a very carefree [...]

I will be heading to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada tomorrow to fulfill some Frank Black dot net duties, as well as visiting my friend Dean out there. It should be a great week full of lots of great music (2 Frank Black shows) and musical discussion, and i will try my best to post some pictures/video/audio/text of my adventures in the Great White North.

Beach House is streaming a new track, ‘Used to Be‘, from their forthcoming 7″ single (here we go with the Indie artists and 7″ vinyl again) to be released on October 21. I love their etherial, haunting, lovelorn music and their latest album Devotion is a late night favorite on my headphones. The duo is [...]

On their recent swing through Europe, Alex and Victoria seem to have partaken freely of all local cultures and their relevant web-friendly music features. To wit: The Baltimore duo accepted the challenge of writing and recording an original piece of music for the Norwegian show Lydverket a few months ago, to very pretty albeit typically sepia-tinged results. Sorta to wit: I imagine they were i...

According to the band:"Recorded over the summer of 2008 after many exhaustive months of touring, "Used To Be" contemplates the spiritual and physical effects of life on the everchanging road, love and getting older....

Ah, Beach House. Second post for the 29th. Couldn't help it really, I don't work Fridays during the day, I really have nothing better to do. And besides, Devotion is just so great- dreamlike, shoegaze-y, abstract, bizzarre. I love how it sounds just like the stuff from their first S/T album but enhanced, sort of. Illusory yet pragmatic. Easy to listen to when you're doing absolutely nothing, or...
