Beach House. Photo credit unknown.

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.
