Artist: Beach House
Album: Teen Dream
Label: Sub Pop
Genre: Dream Pop
How can such a pure sound with vocals pulled from the ether come from the depths of Baltimore? Only Beach House knows (I suspect dark magic), and at last they've really honed in on their craft. Their previous efforts were beautifully haunting without being wholly engaging, but with Teen Dream we have an album that demands multiple listens. These twinkly guitars refuse to just pass by, they're always moving in tandem with the deep, jaw-dropping voice of Victoria Legrand. Their friends Grizzly Bear paved the way with the last year's Veckatimest, and Beach House has released an equally impressive collection of songs. Like the album name, these songs will stay with you, curled up in the corner of your frontal lobe, until they're played again. But they're the good dreams - the ones about sex and candy, not the ones about turning in your research paper late.
