Beach House - Gila [live]

[erocker2020]

Damn it!! I live in Dallas and I missed this..didn't know about them yet.

[MrGanjubas777]

унылое дерьмо

[stels25]

@MrGanjubas777

ты сам дерьмо

[movieace90]

This song is just waaaay too beautiful.

[lysolbombs470]

Seems like there should be a low hung cloud of "strange cigarette" smoke in the room. Such a nice mellow sound. Love her voice alongside that hypnotic guitar. Why this stuff isn't on the radio is a mystery to me.

[ferniezombie]

audio is live. duude.

[razzatazzel]

Thumbs up for REAL MUSIC!

[passiveMenis]

You can hardly hear the guitar

[joerover22]

sounds like the audio version was just put over the footage... lip movement and guitar/piano playing is not in coorelation at all

[mike22490]

Victoria's voice is stunning...

[EECIEI]

I played beach house for a friend a few months ago and he was like meh sounds like the singer from pinback i was like WTF!! thats a guy and dont compare that band to beach house. Idk why i even bothered showing him BH cus he listens to Kings of leon lol!

[neggayeah]

i love her voice

[bouquetofseaweed]

goose bumps... Love when she goes falsetto at the end

[teacherman1903]

Her voice is so intoxicating. It's really remarkable.

[yellowpatchrocket]

very good live version.. most of the time bands have a hard time adapting their music to a live set, but Beach House just captures that dreamy vibe to every concert they play at effortlessly.

[javoys]

one of the best bands today.

just great and gorgeous

[Asparagushymn]

A question for anyone who's seen Beach House live...

does Victoria record and loop her backing vocals before hand or are they pre-recorded?

Also, does anyone know what equipment they use?

synths/effects?

This blows my mind every time I watch it.

[coasttocoast7]

@Asparagushymn

Her backing vocals are probably pre-recorded along with the drums. I really want to know what drums machine that dude uses

[guiadoporvoces]

Victoria Legrand at Pitchfork:

"We always specify that it's organ beats, from the organ, that we record on four-track, and then layer."

[Asparagushymn]

Hmm... interesting. When you say 'organ' do you mean the PS-20?

[badboyrhythmdub]

Was wondering what keyboard she uses myself. Anyone know?

[guiadoporvoces]

It's a Yamaha PS-20...

[badboyrhythmdub]

Thanks guiadoporvoces.

[bouquetofseaweed]

@Asparagushymn seems to be pre-recorded. Guitar player seems to just have a nice Strat with good tone and some deep reverb. Not too much going on there, just incredible melody. I wish I could play at such a slow tempo, I just can't.

[meotoko77]

I could probably be there for an eternity listening to that song!!!

[astrocharlie]

such beauty is poignant.

[bigmamasky]

more like a spell than a song

[lasfinisimas]

Beach House is doing some interesting stuff. Love you boys...keep on the hard work!

Greetings from MexCity

[meotoko77]

Its a boy and a girl.

[lasfinisimas]

Love you boy and girl then...happy?

[PhantomWarlock]

wow good band. im surprised julian casalancas would like them.

[PhantomWarlock]

dont take that the wrong way, i absolutely love julian and his solo album

[armsweneed]

does anyone know what kind of keyboard she uses?

[itthewayiam]

one of the few timeless songs of recent years.

[jaybirdful]

No one is moving!!! They are hypnotized!

[BradKWilliamson]

@jaybirdful "Hypnotizing" is most definitely the perfect word to describe them in concert. Love it.

[alexpalalove]

I'm sure most of the people who witnessed that performance bought their album :)

[marvincolle]

I'm frustrated everyday that they're not more popular, but also thankful.

[TheRedScareIsAlive]

Victoria's voice is absolutely breathtaking... but they would do better singing in a darker environment... this atmosphere didn't seem to be condusive to their music... still amazing!!!

[CaseOfAnthrax]

soo perfect and dreamy

[RHIN0100]

Sigh....this band gives me the blues. Every time. I could listen to them for the next thousand lifetimes. Thank God John Lennon happened.

[boywithstick]

This seems like the most perfect version of Gila live that there could possibly be IMHO.

[vicesquad08]

wtf? i hate day shows..it takes away the whole melancholy, nostalgic beats..=/..but i bet Vicky's voice made up for that ; )

[longdistanceman]

my roommate and I are becoming obsessed with this band. This song is so good.

[xandega]

Victoria reminds me of Chan Marshall by the similarity of their voice and the fact that they are a little bit look alike..maybe it's their hair..i don't know..

[heliovskypetrov]

waaaaaahhh this song

love!!!!1

[countcoco]

[liganj]
