I have always been sort of ambivalent towards Beach House. I’ve enjoyed the band’s material but nothing ever really seemed to stick with me. I saw the band open for The Rosebuds a few years ago and can’t remember for the life of me anything about their live show. That’s not usually a good sign. But there is something about the band’s new album, Teen Dream, that I find intriguing and intoxicating. Maybe I’m way off but Beach House remind me of the lovely Mazzy Star. Or even a more lush Band Of Horses (with female vocals of course). Teen Dream is out today on Sub Pop.
