Okay. First. Ignore the video. Beach House finally stepped up their music game with their latest album, Teen Dream, but have yet to catch me with their videos (with this piece looking like an American Apparel ad featuring a mix of Windows Media Player visualizer, The Never Ending Story, and Scott Morlando's howling wolves t-shirt). Teen Dream is a nostalgic, emotional look at young, unfulfilled relationships. A sad, longing vibe set against pretty instrumentals and lead singer Victoria Legrand's haunting vocals. Baltimore dream pop, indeed.
The album is a bit heavy, but definitely deserves a full listenin'-to. A couple more of my favorites to move to next: Used to Be, Walk in the Park.
Next week (PROMISE) will be all smiles, finger snappin' and tambourines.
