i give up. Cherry is a grower and it's great. especially Wildflower.

this is not on Spotify as of yet. see that it got the "Best New Music" tag today.
― Bee OK, Wednesday, 19 August 2015 01:48 (eight years ago) link
yeah the album comes out next friday so i don't understand why it went up so early
― j. winters (josh), Wednesday, 19 August 2015 01:54 (eight years ago) link
The album leaked in June, so there must have been a copy floating around the Pitchfork office since at least then.

Hearing it for the first time - it's like all the other Beach House albums: 100% pleasant but blurry, with a few transcendent moments.
― sctttnnnt (pgwp), Thursday, 20 August 2015 15:34 (eight years ago) link
My opinion of this record has grown a lot more positive with subsequent listens. Above comment still more or less applies, but I'm playing it really loud at the moment (not something I usually do with Beach House) and it's making me here the record in a whole new way. Opening two tracks in particular are really terrific at full volume.

This album is beautiful and it may be my new favorite of theirs.
― KevRus, Saturday, 29 August 2015 01:37 (eight years ago) link
agree that it gets better with multiple listens. I put it on when I have 40 minutes to kill and just want to levitate a bit
― calstars, Saturday, 29 August 2015 02:10 (eight years ago) link
they are a pretty fantastic live band right now if they happen to be coming your way

o rly? I saw them many moons ago when they toured in support of devotion.. was just the two of them and a drum machine

excited to hear it's a grower. only listened once so far, but i'll put it on again tonight
― Treeship, Friday, 4 September 2015 17:27 (eight years ago) link
it's a grower but it stopped growing for me at some point
― nostormo, Friday, 4 September 2015 17:43 (eight years ago) link
xxp i saw them last week with a drummer and a bassist/keyboardist. they sounded massive on some of the newer stuff.

i think this is my favorite album so far this year, loving it.

so perfect for a Southern Californian like myself.
a total bore

they are playing this album on repeat at variety roasters in bushwick fyi. it sounds good against the ambient background hum of the coffee roasting machine.
― Treeship, Monday, 7 September 2015 15:45 (eight years ago) link
I love the last three albums but only Space Song is sticking with me this time.

Well, there's a surprise. I hope it's good. I've been struggling to get into Depression Cherry. It feels a bit half-asssed after Bloom.

such an awesome move. bought the bundle, listening to DC in full for the first time now
― flappy bird, Thursday, 8 October 2015 01:00 (eight years ago) link
"10:37" is a perfect song, though I find the "House Made of Dawn" reference confusing. Not the only spot on the album where they borrow a book title for imagery.

thank you lucky stars for "elegy to the void"

yeah that song stopped me in my tracks this morning
opening track is killer too

is this album a glass of Ny-Quil like the last?

you say that like nyquil is a bad thing

i discovered that the supermarket's music playlist switches to beach house if you go after 11pm

at least nyquil tastes pretty good?

Definitely liking this new one more than DC, although I'm willing to keep trying with that one too
― too young for seapunk (Moodles), Tuesday, 20 October 2015 04:16 (eight years ago) link
I'm heartened to find that they still can write songs

"Rough" was the first one to get me from this album.
― calstars, Thursday, 22 October 2015 00:49 (eight years ago) link
"She's so Lovely" is pretty good too
― calstars, Thursday, 22 October 2015 00:54 (eight years ago) link
that elegy to the void song
― Treeship, Monday, 2 November 2015 03:20 (eight years ago) link
I like Space Song more than anything since their first album, holy god. what a debilitatingly pretty song; listening to it for the first time was like rounding a corner and suddenly seeing a shovel coming rapidly towards my face (but in a good way). Somewhere Tonight and She's So Lovely are goddamn delightful as well.
also one reference point I can't shake with their 2015 albums is LITA's resurrection of Lewis last year - i.e. all of a sudden there's a whole new album full of the same general aesthetic (except it plays totally differently) while you're still waiting.

depression cherry is excellent music for spring-cleaning to.
― lamonti, Sunday, 8 November 2015 11:20 (eight years ago) link
'elegy to the void' closed out their set in LA last night, and wow.
i'm really liking how a lot of their recent cuts, from depression cherry and tyls, seem to be a lot more jammy and sort of trance-influenced. PPP and 'Elegy,' for example, seem quite different from the more 'pop' structure of their previous work, especially teen dream & bloom (RE: everyone who thinks their sound is too consistent and boring).
― KevRus, Sunday, 13 December 2015 19:21 (eight years ago) link
I had thought I was over Beach House but GOD DAMMIT I AM NOT OVER BEACH HOUSE. Both 2015 albums are magnificent.
― MatthewK, Thursday, 10 March 2016 11:37 (eight years ago) link
yep
they are both really fucking good
― the tune was space, Thursday, 10 March 2016 14:41 (eight years ago) link
I saw them live last night in Montréal. They were wonderful. I had no idea her voice would be that good. I love their songs, their arrangements and their melodies, but Victoria's voice was the star of the show.

I've been racking my brain all week trying to figure out who Victoria Legrand sounds like and now I'm a little disappointed to finally figure out that it's Martha Davis from the Motels. Hrmph.
― Austin, Monday, 20 June 2016 04:10 (seven years ago) link
totally, a lot of their aesthetic comes straight from the Motels
― Al Moon Faced Poon (Moodles), Monday, 20 June 2016 04:11 (seven years ago) link
Not really, just her voice.
