[2012-05-15] Beach House "Bloom" (Sub Pop)

Product Description
Bloom is the fourth full-length album by Baltimore-based Beach House. It builds on 2010's Teen Dream to further develop their distinctive sound yet stands apart as a new piece of work. Bloom is meant to be experienced as an ALBUM, a singular, unified vision of the world. Though not stripped down, the many layers of Bloom are uncomplicated and meticulously constructed to ensure there is no waste. Bloom was recorded in 2011 at Sonic Ranch Studios in Tornillo, TX and mixed at Electric Lady in NYC. The band co-produced the record with Chris Coady.

Beach House complete work on new album?

Beach House have reportedly finished work on the follow up to 2010's 'Teen Dream'.

The duo – made up of Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally – have apparently completed their fourth album at New York's iconic Electric Lady Studios. According to Pedestrian.tv, the studio posted a message on their Facebook page saying: "Just wrapped the new Beach House record in Studio A... such a rad record // band."

However, the message was quickly taken down and the band's label Sub Pop have since told Gorilla Vs Bear blogger Chris Cantalini that the studio had "jumped the gun" when it came to breaking the news.

Not my Beach House

Beach House gets a little bit better each album to these ears. I enjoyed half the tracks on Teen Dream. Still, they need some better production and songwriting to pull off the great album I know they're capable of recording. They do put on a very good live show, I'll give them that.

I think the Beach Brothers are going to be conferring with their lawyers tout suite!

Now, that's what I call goals and albums to look for inspiration. :thumbsup:

Thanks to Linda for the linked track. I really like what I hear. :ohyes:

Sub Pop has been doing a fair number of pre-order exclusives via their website... would expect to see one for this release as well.

No big deal, though, it's only a poster.

If you pre-order Bloom from us by May 15th, you’ll receive a limited edition Beach House poster with your CD or LP order! These are limited, so naturally it’s on a first come, first served basis.

Really enjoyed this album Saturday night. Impressed, need to go back and seek other titles from this band.

Bloom has yet to bloom for me. Not crazy about the production and really nothing stands out like "Norway" from Teen Dream. But I'm going to give it a few more spins and hope it grows on me.

Here is a video we made using footage from our recording session at Sonic Ranch Studios, Tornillo, Texas. It's more of a home video thing, not a music video.......we just thought these moments and the memories they involve fit this song. SUPER SPECIAL thanks to our wonderful assistant engineer for the session Manuel Calderon (the guy with the tequila), who filmed all the time lapses and a lot of the studio footage.
