Waking up to new
Beach House feels something like waking up with a once-lost partner who, having previously fled the nest, returns to warming and moreover familiar embrace to generate a feeling similar to that lovingly squeezed into every one of Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally's wondrous tracks. Myth, released just gone midnight across the pond, is alleged to be lifted from their forthcoming and indeed fourth Sub Pop/ Bella Union LP, Bloom and although Legrand may coo and swoon of "a new direction" this is, quite unquestionably, quintessential Beach House. Cascading guitars fall like the softest snowfall, layered heavily over metronomic rhythmic clanking whilst amid flittering time signatures Legrand's vocals assimilate an ABBA-esque quality as they float gloriously atop an equally sublime introduction to a record sure to melt a forest of doting hearts all over again. However returning with a subtly more widescreen sonic aesthetic, the pair may well worm their way into yet more vital organs this time around...
Beach House.
