There is an approximately 100% chance that Beach House’s third album Teen Dream is going to end up on my best-of-year list. It’s kind of neat when an album is released in January and a little over a month later you are that certain of its staying power. It also speaks to what a great album it actually is.
Beach House keeps getting better and better. If you haven’t climbed aboard the bandwagon yet, there’s still plenty of room.
For those that need to take a sonic test drive, Pitchfork delivers the goods with a set of live performances here. Nothing better than hearing and seeing. Unless you can catch them live, which I intend to do later this month.
Check out the version of my second-favorite track off the new album, “Norway”, below (and appreciate the leg kick at the end which is at once ironic and totally rock star. And sexy!):
