Beach House have done everything in their power to see to it that I have a good weekend. A few days ago they released the first song from their upcoming album Bloom which drops sometime this May. The track, entitled "Myth", has that trusted Beach House sound with an ethereal and hypnotic arpeggio'd guitar that hooked me a few seconds into the song. It's kinda what I've come to expect from Beach House (and I mean that in a good way). I expect to be impressed with each new song I hear. They're albums have gotten steadily better with each new release, and their most recent effort Teen Dream was one of my top albums of a few years ago. I'm still fairly obsessed with their song "Norway".
This track will all but increase the already strong anticipation for this next album. Despite their name, Beach House's music has always had a very wintery feel to it for me. It'll be cool, however, enjoying the new album with the summer sun setting in the background a few months from now. For now, this one fantastic song will have to hold us over....

I always liked Hotel California and Jethro Tull. In The Dark was OK, but they did better. Tapestry was always good, too.
ReplyDeleteSitting here with your bro, derek. Talking about how much we are into Florence and the Machine. I know, I was surprised too. They remind of the eurythmics... and have always loved them. Always loved 10,000 maniacs, Natalie Merchant.
ReplyDeleteLOVE that you have A.M. in you top ten.
