Beach House

Beach House是一支于2005年成立于馬里蘭州巴爾第摩的雙人dream pop和indie-rock樂隊。他們熨人心脾的音樂與Mazzy Star和 Nico風格很像。他們的首張同名專輯在2006年Pitchfork Media排名上位列第十六位。 Beach House自從2006年發行首張同名專輯后技藝進步極其明顯。錄音更加清晰明快，歌曲更加飽滿。這支樂隊將雙人流行樂隊的形式發展到了極致。 風琴、滑棒吉他和混音器還一如往常，但Beach House在他們的最新專輯中展示出了一些新的風格。盡管對他們首張專輯評論都在把他們與90年代早期的dream流行音樂人Mazzy Star,Galaxie 500和Slowdive作比較，但在新專輯《Devotion》中還能聽出樂隊長期以來對60年代的Motown和鄉村民歌的景仰。 Alex Scally (guitar/keyboards) and Victoria Legrand (vocals/keyboards), the latter of whom is the niece of French composer Michel Legrand, create the dreamy lo-fi sounds of Beach House. The Baltimore duo formed in 2005 with Legrand's Nico-like vocal hush and Scally's delicate instrumentation. Within a year, Beach House charmed indie music enthusiasts across the blogosphere with their languid songcraft, while the eerie warmth of "Apple Orchard" landed on Pitchfork's Infinite Mixtape MP3 series in August 2006. Two months later, Beach House issued their eponymous debut album for Carpark
