It should come as no surprise to you that this one man editorial team is a rather large fan of Baltimore duo Beach House (and excited to see them again in a few days at Coachella, even though I just saw them a few weeks back). But to make them even cooler, they are taking part in Record Store Day, which is this Saturday, April 17. The main purpose of Record Store Day is to get people back into the independent record stores that have done so much in supporting independent music over the years. And to do so, many artists are releasing limited edition records only available in stores on that day.
Beach House is offering up a limited edition Zebra 12″ with some new songs and edits.
Side A:
1. Zebra (UK Radio Edit)
2. The Arrangement
Side B:
1. Baby
2. Ten Mile Stereo (Cough Syrup Remix)
And the good folks of Subpop are making “The Arrangement” available to stream for one week only, so give it a listen! I kind of wish the Zebra (Ring Trick remix) could have made it’s way onto something like this, because I love it so very much. But kudos to Beach House and all the other artists putting out special releases for Record Store Day and helping to support the little guys. And you should all do the same this Saturday.
