From Michael Katzif, NPR Music:
Beach House writes gauzy, dreamy songs with droning melodies, but the music is far from formless. Composing concise progressions and arrangements on which to build their sound, members Alex Scally and Victoria Legrand display an affection for intricate '60s-style songcraft and '80s-style synth-pop.
With its third full-length album, Teen Dream, the band has crafted its most immediate and rewarding record yet. Scally and Legrand have weaned themselves off the lonely minimalism of their previous records — 2006's self-titled debut and 2008's Devotion — for a more expansive sound. Where those records often felt murky, Teen Dream feels like a shift from fuzzy sepia tones to Technicolor.
Teen Dream was produced by Chris Coady, who has worked with TV on the Radio, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Blonde Redhead, and was recorded in a converted church in upstate New York — appropriately named Dreamland. MORE HERE
