Selected : Beach House – “Norway” (Live)
Beach House now has the distinction of being the only “Selected” feature artist to appear twice on the blog. The first post appeared about half a year ago.
I’m so happy for all of their current success, and their new album, Teen Dream, is stunning. Highly, highly recommended. The CD comes with a companion DVD of music videos + goodies, so make sure to get physical (like Olivia).
Rumor has it that they will be gracing Asheville with a performance at the Grey Eagle on April 30th. I’ll see you there!

Selected : Beach House

Beach House is a Baltimore duo that makes beautiful, dreamy indie pop.
That descriptor “dreamy indie pop” usually conjures Nineties groups like My Bloody Valentine and Ride, but unlike the wall-of-guitars approach favored by those bands, Beach House does it with spare, deliberate arrangements – usually no more than guitar, keyboard, voice, and gently-pulsing electronic drums.
I picked up Devotion at Harvest Records last week – it’s the perfect soundtrack for the approaching fall weather.
