Beach House "Norway" at Auditorium Shores SXSW Music 2009

Beach House have revealed the details of their third album, their first release on new label Sub Pop. Teen Dream will be released on January 26, 2010 on CD and LP. It was produced and engineered by Chris Coady (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV on the Radio, Grizzly Bear)

Beach House, Alex Scally and Victoria Legrand, have been playing music forever, each since childhood in Baltimore, Philadelphia, and France . Beach House formed in the summer, it was very late at night and there was a lot of heat. Their songs start simple and grow organically like tiny skeletons that multiply layers of necessary flesh. In the Beach House world, outside influences have been purely atmospheric. There are many groups and artists that have entranced the duo: Zombies, Brian Wilson, Neil Young, Big Star, Chris Bell, the list goes on; however, there isn't one particular group or artist that Beach House admires more than another. By not forcing the way their songs come to fruition and by allowing all of their ideas to exist and play freely, an otherworldly space is created: organs, slide guitars, reverb, harmony, layers, accidents, echoes and melodies stand by themselves like the ones in everyone's childhood memories.

Does anyone know who the drummer is? Is he in another band?  He's quite the sexbomb.

[briannaxlush]

Her voice is so different in so many different

ways, it's got a bit of a manly tone to it but only

victoria can pull it off. They come up with some

amazing songs you wont hear anywhere else and

they always become something you wanna makeout

too. And alex scally is one handsome man, love his

facial hair, what a man,

[ThePsychicSasquatch]

I freaking love this. I run and hike with these songs playing in my ears.

@shamwele Take some time and look at some other performances, they're awesome. They can pull it off live, and make it even better.
