Beach House

i made a poll Best Beach House Album (So Far)

xpost

my personal ranking from most favorite to least favorite:

Depression Cherry
Teen Dream
Beach House
Devotion
Thank Your Lucky Stars
Bloom

note that this is on a scoring scale of 9.3 - 8.8. they're my favorite.

Ha, well, I guess I'm a contrarian then - I think Devotion is pretty beautiful - it was my entry point so probably special to me. And I loved Thank Your Lucky Stars, the slightly tougher sounds kicked it into new territory for me.

I used work with a guy who loved Teen Dream so much he couldn’t even listen to the newer stuff with the more cosmic sound.

i made a tweet out of this, but this is what each Beach House album would be like if they were films:

S/T: Super 8 home movie
DEVOTION: psychedelic underground cult classic
TEEN DREAM: coming-of-age fantasy
BLOOM: nocturnal road trip blockbuster
DEPRESSION CHERRY: retrofuturist space epic
THANK YOUR LUCKY STARS: wintry lone drifter tale

I used work with a guy who loved Teen Dream so much he couldn’t even listen to the newer stuff with the more cosmic sound.

i met someone who refused to listen to anything past devotion. i was like uhh you're really doing yourself a disservice there

I think there's a certain degree of conscious returning to earlier minimalism on dc-tyls after the widescreen dream pop of Bloom. Most of the vocals are also bereft of the thick reverb as well

still haven't listened to Thank Your Lucky Stars. Depression Cherry became my favorite recently. vinyl copy of Bloom developed a skip that makes me so angry I resent the whole album. Saw one of my favorite concerts at the Hollywood Bowl circa Teen Dream. Devotion has our song.

TYLS is equal to or better than Cherry

going to give it a shot over the weekend

Yeah agree with you Moodles. TYLS also sounds great after DC as a pick me up record.

****new beach house****

psyched for this. they shot a music video in an art deco movie theater here nearly a year ago, i wonder when that's going to turn up

oh nice, more in the sparks vein

flappy bird: That video is out! I think. For "Chariot," from the b sides comp.

ha yeah i just watched that and yeah that's definitely it

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

a flash in the pan

i love you beach house

Fuck ya

So glad they didn't take a hiatus following the last two shot run

i was listening to beach house when i got in a car accident on monday :(

depression cherry kind of traumatizing now

Hope you're ok

love this band

YES

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.

Personal list of artists with the most consistent quality per decade:

60s: Mingus
70s: Can or Black Sabbath (although their late 70’s albums are not as consistently brilliant as the rest)
80s: Prince
90s: Stereolab
00s: Spoon
10s: 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

love when the drums kick in on dive.

Guitar part on dive really brings to mind temptation by new order for me

hell yeah that's good

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...

well RYM feels like the seventh circle of hell so that makes sense to me

lol man

i am excited about this album

yeah, everything i've heard has sounded great! i'm holding off until the rest of it is released

listening to depression cherry right now, there are so many beautiful moments on this record especially "days of candy" solo that starts at 2:57 ~~~ whoooooohhhh~~~

Beyond love ruins me

Beach House - 7 (2018)

Thanks bee OK

Teen Dream turns 10 today.

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.

Music is all about FEELINGS man and the stuff that hits me the hardest I don’t want to stumble upon or listen to while I’m frying an egg or emptying the trash

Wrong thread
Anyway yeah I was wondering what they’re up to ...

Frying eggs, obv.

Sorry Ma, Forgot to Hit You in the Feels

Anyway yeah I was wondering what they’re up to ...

3 years since 7 came out. *drums fingers on table*
