Beach House return in January 2010 with “Teen Dream”, their third - and first classic - album, on Bella Union records.
The Beach House you’re about to meet isn’t the same as the one you’ll remember from before. Lives have been shuffled, tangled and re-aligned. When Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally returned home to their hometown of Baltimore last winter, they were worn out from touring and travel. But deep inside them hot energies were incubating, ideas they had been whispering back and forth in the wake of their sophomore full-length, 2008’s “Devotion”. By spring they began handing themselves over completely to these impulses, holing themselves up and exchanging ideas in a new, secluded practice space for dangerously long periods of time. As the songs that would become “Teen Dream” began to live, breathe and take shape, the duo were compelled to leave much of their personal lives behind them. “We were forced to let go of people and things we were holding onto as individuals” Legrand muses. “We were dropped into a wilderness, but we had more clarity than we’ve ever had before”.
Still driven to avoid distraction, the two marched further into isolation, deciding to bottle all those wild visions away from home. They packed up their lives and settled into a converted church in upstate New York with producer Chris Coady. For a month they continued the birthing process, sweating and pushing out sounds inside a cocoon of their very own weaving.
“Teen Dream” is the sound of a band bursting at its creative seams. It is without question more expansive and moving than anything they have shared before.

Beach House is an American dream pop band that formed in 2004 at Baltimore, Maryland, United States. The group consists of Victoria Legrand (vocals, organ), who is the niece of French composer Michel Legrand, and Alex Scally (guitar, keyboards). Since their formation, the group has released eight studio albums: Beach House (2006), Devotion (2008), Teen Dream (2010), Bloom (2012), Depression Cherry (2015), Thank Your Lucky Stars (2015), 7 (2018), and Once Twice Melody (2022).
Career
Within a year of formation, 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, they issued their eponymous debut album for Carpark. Fall shows with labelmates Over the Atlantic were also scheduled. Victoria can also be heard on Frenemies' Birds in High School album. She and Chris Freeland created harmonies on the song "Waiting for the Ambulance". Victoria can also be heard on Grizzly Bear's 2009 release Veckatimest and she sings on "Slow Life", a Grizzly Bear track featured on the official soundtrack for Twilight: New Moon.
In September of 2009, Sub Pop Records announced that Beach House had signed and that a follow up album to 2008's Devotion, Teen Dream, would be released in early 2010. The album received universal acclaim from contemporary music critics, additionally hailed as one of the best albums of 2010. Their fourth studio album, Bloom, was released on May 15, 2012, as their second release with Sub Pop. Released to further acclaim from music critics, it was supported by the lead single "Myth", with the album debuting at number seven on the US Billboard 200 album chart.
Following the success of Bloom, Beach House began recording their fifth album, Depression Cherry (2015), in November 2014. Earlier that year, the group contributed to Lefse Records' compliation album The Space Project, with the track Saturn Song. Recording for Depression Cherry ended in January 2015, with the album's lead single "Sparks" being released at the beginning of July 2015. Depression Cherry was released on August 28, 2015, and debuted at number eight on the US Billboard 200 album chart. Two months after its release, the group announced that they would release their sixth studio album, Thank Your Lucky Stars (2015), later that same year, adding that it is "not a companion to Depression Cherry, or a surprise, or b-sides".
After releasing those two albums in 2015, Beach House announced that a compilation album, B-Sides and Rarities (2017), would be released in 2017 as a way of "cleaning out the closet" to pave the way for a new creative process. It was released on June 30, 2017, containing two unreleased tracks and other "rare" tracks. The next year, the band announced their seventh studio album, 7 (2018) and released four singles to promote it; "Lemon Glow", "Dive", "Dark Spring" and "Black Car". 7 was released on May 11, 2018, and was co-produced by Sonic Boom (alias of Peter Kember), singer and guitarist of Spacemen 3. It received universal acclaim by music critics, who praised the adventurous nature of the album and the consistency of the band, with some considering it the group's best album to date.
In 2019, Beach House collaborated with arts company Meow Wolf to release a short film titled "Marin's Dreams", contributing to the Omega Mart exhibition. In 2021, the group announced that their eighth studio album, Once Twice Melody (2022), was ready for release. It was also announced that it would be released in four chapters; the first chapter was released on November 10, 2021, the second on December 8 of the same year and the third on January 19, 2022. The fourth chapter, as well as the entire album itself, was released on February 18, 2022, through Sub Pop. It became the best-selling album in the United States within its first week of release, debuting atop the US Billboard Top Album Sales chart, with 20,300 copies sold in its first week. In April 2023, the band released the EP Become (2023), which contains five tracks that were recorded in the sessions of Once Twice Melody, in which the band described as "(not fitting) in the world of (Once Twice Melody), but... a little world of their own".
