beach house is the baltimore band composed of victoria legrand and alex scally (and im pretty sure their myspace page background is a picture from cute overload. their third album, entitled “teen dream” is being released in january and is among one of the numerous highly anticipated releases coming in the first quarter of 2010. besides working on a new album in near isolation, the band contributed a track to the fantabulous “dark was the night” compilation that ive oft blogged about through the year, and vicky (i bet she hates being called vicky, what do you think?) also provided vocals to grizzly bears “slow life” which can be found on the “gag” new moon soundtrack.
im liking this first song thats been released from the new album. im not going to lie and pretend im an expert on the whole beach house discography, but from the little ive heard, i really feel like this track is a great step forward (not that there was anything bad about the previous steps theyve taken). the swirling organs and legrands one of a kind vocals add to a song that seems to be much more driving than some other beach house tunes ive heard. but im probably completely wrong, which really wouldnt surprise anyone. i cant wait for 2010 music time.
can’t stop playing this tune on repeat!
