Beach House - Teen Dream
With our legs on the edge and our feet on the horizon" sings Victoria Legrand on '10 Mile Stereo'. Although it's possible she may have lost an octave to her cigarette habit, the tone of her voice - both delicate and androgynous - is invaluable to the Beach House sound, when combined with old-timey organs and the most melodic of guitar-playing. 2008's Devotion saw a bright awakening from the autumnal drowsiness of their debut, and although Teen Dream doesn't see a total retreat to their hazy beginnings, the sun is definitely setting on this album. It's a clash of colour and warmth, where more ambitious beats and spirited melodies have allowed Beach House to create a record of accessible pop songs with the charm and atmosphere they've proven time and again they can't shake.
