Beach House’s Teen Dream is an album that, on about my 10th listen now, I feel I’m falling in love with. The Baltimore, MD duo of Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally are three albums deep now and this, their Sub Pop debut, trumps the previous two. Confident, self-assured and gorgeous, Teen Dream is a blissful, aural delight from start to finish.
Working with producer Chris Coady, the band holed up in a converted church in upstate New York. Hunkering down in an unfamiliar area may have made the duo look inward more, but the results couldn’t be more expansive sonically.
There’s real beauty in the melodies, harmonies and instrumentation all throughout Teen Dream. And Legrand’s voice is both sultry and comforting, especially on the album’s final track “Take Care”, a song reminiscent of Cocteau Twins and The Beach Boys. “Norway” is a dizzying tune, with plenty of warbling to throw your equilibrium off. Lead track “Zebra” followed by “Silver Soul” are delicious slices of dream-pop that kick the whole thing off right and proper.
Beach House’s Teen Dream is an early contender for Best of 2010.
Beach House will perform April 02nd at the Metro in Chicago. For more information, please visit the Metro’s website.
