'another year, another beach house 3'



hell yeah new ty dolla sign baby

I personally love how thick and dense it all is

Album Rating: 5.0

One thing I will say is that Victoria learns how to better use her voice with every album cycle, even if her melodies don’t always improve. Much as I adore Teen Dream if you listen back to that there were times where she was clearly straining - not so much on 7.

Album Rating: 3.0

Teen Dream is more 'indie pop', a little more lo-fi (cheaper sounding you could say, more 'keyboard' sounding, than 'synth-y' sounding) and the vocals are somewhat scratchy compared to how pristine they got later.



Every song is uniquely melodic and it's less drone-y in tone than everything they've released since. Their sound has got more dense and the vocals a lot more melodically indistinct to my ears.



New one there's something pleasant in the sound, a sort of wash riding over it that I'm digging. I may have jumped the gun with a 4.5...we'll see.



I still think last week's Eleanor Friedberger has a few songs the equal to the best songs on '7', possibly better even. Sadly that album dips in places, but the opener and closer are immense and a bit Beach House-y.

nows probably a good time to get into them

Album Rating: 5.0

her singing on the new one is arguably her best singing yet IMO but i'm also a sucker for layered octave vox and she does that a LOT on the new album. pay no mind is pretty much the best song but also really feelin lose your smile

I think I miss a little bit how much clearer her vocals were on this album but yeah I definitely love all of the layering, especially on L'inconnue

Album Rating: 5.0

yeah the change in the middle of that song is so wild



levitation is still their peak forever though

Absolutely agree with you

Album Rating: 3.0

The new album reminds me a bit of Air in places - and not just because of the French singing. Is it more of a retro chillout album? Has some pleasantly cheesy 'outer space' FX swirling about in the mix.



Three listens in and I'm settling on a 4 out of 5 for now, same as 'Bloom'.

levitation - space song. best three song run of the decade so far. wonder how the rest of the album is so underwhelming (the closer is great tho).

Album Rating: 3.5

Beach haas is ehh music and the cover is red as you see and the album has sangs on it, lots of them, so many and when you hear it, it here's pretty good, it here's real nice

'tis that time of year

Album Rating: 5.0

it is rare for an album to grow on me as much as this one did. also dig the new album a lot esp the opener and lose your smile

Album Rating: 5.0

Same, I used to have this at a 3.5 for Christ’s sake. New one’s great but only a few songs on it match anything from this.
