The new song came up on a Spotify playlist I was listening to on shuffle. I was 95% sure it was gonna turn into a soundcloud rap track until Victoria started singing

their career path has been remarkable & ideal imo: a gradual rise spread out over a decade from very humble beginnings to arguably one of the 10 most popular & certainly influential indie bands in the world.
― flappy bird, Thursday, 8 March 2018 01:38 (six years ago) link
Personal list of artists with the most consistent quality per decade:
60s: Mingus70s: Can or Black Sabbath (although their late 70’s albums are not as consistently brilliant as the rest)80s: Prince90s: Stereolab00s: Spoon10s: Beach House

We also worked with Sonic Boom (Peter Kember). Peter became a great force on this record, in the shedding of conventions and in helping to keep the songs alive, fresh and protected from the destructive forces of recording studio over-production/over-perfection.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy shit. Anticipating the fuck out of this. My guess is it will bridge the gap between the last two and bloom but this is based on nothjng

cover art for this album is amazing
stupid how many people seem upset on RYM that it's called "7" - it's their seventh record...

I probably haven't listened to Beach House in a couple of years (time flies), but put on "7" and "Teen Dream" just now and it's all so almost unbearably pretty.

they posted this to their IG acct last week:

they're my all-time favorite band, so I follow them very closely. on a podcast appearance, Victoria mentioned that they were already working on new music before the pandemic hit, and the pandemic just caused them to keep working on more music, not knowing when they'll stop. it'll continue to move towards a sonically cinematic realm in the way that the past albums have but in a more explicit way like 7. they've also hinted that they're interested in touring less(?) and making/releasing music more. so we may be coming into an embarrassment of riches when the time comes!
― winters (josh), Friday, 10 September 2021 20:30 (two years ago) link
whoops -- did the image link wrong
basically, a fan commented on their latest IG post asking about a new album, and they responded saying they're currently working on it!

shame about the touring since I always enjoy seeing them live....I have noticed on the last few albums that Victoria's not singing as forcefully as she used to - definitely noticed it in the live shows too. so one reason for them touring less would be to relieve the strain on her having to perform multiple nights in a row. whatever form they appear, it's gonna be great though, they can't seem to make a bad record.

from Sub Pop's website:
"ONCE TWICE MELODY is the 8th studio album by BEACH HOUSE, who formed in 2004.
ONCE TWICE MELODY is a 2xLP, featuring 18 songs and presented in 4 chapters.
BEACH HOUSE is VICTORIA LEGRAND, lead singer and multi-instrumentalist, and ALEX SCALLY, guitarist and multi-instrumentalist. They write all of their songs together.
OTM was Produced entirely by BEACH HOUSE, a first for the band. Like their previous record 7, the live drums are by JAMES BARONE. Live drums were recorded at PACHYDERM studio in Minnesota and UNITED Studio in LA.
The Writing and Recording of ONCE TWICE MELODY began in 2018 and was completed in JULY 2021. Most of the songs were created during this time, though a few date back over the previous 10 years. Much of this recording was done at APPLE ORCHARD STUDIO in Baltimore.
ONCE TWICE MELODY was mixed largely by ALAN MOULDER, but a few tracks were also mixed by CAESAR EDMUNDS, TREVOR SPENCER, and DAVE FRIDMANN.
For the first time, a live STRING ENSEMBLE was used. Strings were arranged by DAVID CAMPBELL
Across the 18 Songs, many types of STYLE, SONG STRUCTURE, and SPIRIT can be heard; Songs WITHOUT drums, Songs centered around ACOUSTIC guitar, mostly ELECTRONIC Songs with no guitar, wandering melodies, repetitive melodies, Songs built around the STRING SECTIONS. While there are a lot of new sounds, many of the drum machines, organs, keyboards, and tones that listeners may associate with previous BEACH HOUSE records are still present throughout many of the compositions."

there are also tour dates all over the world from Feb - July 2022!!!!

Excited about this but not really sold on the idea of it appearing in four installments over the next few month.

I get the sense that it’s partially integral to the experience of the album and partially to have control over the release of the album as they've publicly expressed frustration over how all their records have been leaked waaaay early on
― winters (josh), Tuesday, 9 November 2021 20:06 (two years ago) link
albums released on sub pop are about the only ones that still do leak months in advance
