I’ve only been a moderate fan of Beach House in the past, but their newest album Teen Dream is amazing! A band that can hopefully expect some crossover mainstream success like Grizzly Bear, Phoenix, and Animal Collective were able to achieve last year. I fully expect this record to end up in my top 3 of the year. If not, we’re in for an awesome year of music. It’s already off to a great start.
Description of Teen Dream from Sub Pop:
Recorded in upstate New York, in a converted church called Dreamland with producer/engineer Chris Coady (who has worked with TV on the Radio, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Blonde Redhead, and a bunch of others) Teen Dream is the third album from the Baltimore-based duo Beach House, and their Sub Pop debut. The new album gives voice to a full universe of unbridled imagination, and the manifestation of Teen Dream has been a welcomed and all-consuming obsession for Beach House the past 9-12 months. Both the CD and LP formats of Teen Dream will arrive packaged with a companion DVD featuring a video for each song on the album, each by a different director.
