How BEACH HOUSE Changed Dream Pop

[@oleum5589]

beach house’s music has this special touch of familiar loneliness. An unexplainable sadness. The kind that lingers but never harms. That has been my biggest comfort ever.

[@Jozzy14235]

It's amazing how music can just take you to place of happiness in the form of memories.

[@amandaveiga908]

Yes! It's a mix of comfort with melancholy and some nostalgia

Bloom is such a perfect album. Even hearing just the opening notes of Myth send me to a place I can't put into words. No filler on that album at all (except for that massive silence after Irene :p )

[@TheDutchCreeperTDC]

The silence is because of the hidden track at the end. Quite a few M83 albums have this as well. I still don't really get why they include the silence on streaming services.

[@simonsanchezkumrich8489]

It would be perfect without the silence

[@HectorTWE]

@@TheDutchCreeperTDC yeah, of course I know that. I'm just saying it just goes on for too long. 13 minutes if I remember correctly? Just keep it to a couple of minutes, it's fine

[@TheDutchCreeperTDC]

@@HectorTWE yeah it's awful when you're listening to a playlist and you have to listen to 13 minutes of silence while you're doing something and can't reach your phone like driving for example. And it bothers me even more because Irene is one of my favourite songs on the album but because of this I barely ever listen to it.

[@majidrasooli8338]

Beach House is the perfect band for introspection and the purifying of soul through song. The cozy intertwining of dark organs and shimmering guitars, the incomparable expressive force of Victoria's vocals, the wistful and melancholic melodic lines, the adventurous use of harmony and counterpoint, the lush and heavy production, the slow funereal pulse of the drum machines and those lyrics evocative of the profoundest affection and heartbreak; and yet the entire experience is much more than a sum of all the parts. This musical pairing was truly a blessing for us all.

[@jamisonlamkin5576]

Teen Dream just kills me with that, and I know so many others do as well.

Listening to PPP is like a religious experience. The whole song seems like its slowly reaching out to your soul and grabbing it. By the end of the 6-minute song you eventually feel your soul leave your body and move to a higher state of being. You could say that for so many of of their songs tbh. Their consistency is unreal.

[@gibblesmash8203]

thats one way of putting it

[@TitoSumit]

indeed 💫 i'm overwhelmed with ppp. :') ♡

[@orbitalwarrior]

Beach House has continuously evolved, while remaining true to themselves, that's their main quality. They make small adjustments each time, yet their sound and songs are all very distinct of one another. I discovered them early on, and it was unlike anything I had heard before. The mix of hopefullness and melancholy, a bittersweet sensation, perfect for a cozy autumn afternoon, or late at night. I will always have a special thing for their debut and Devotion, and I secretly hope they make something reminiscent of their early days one more time, but I'm equally excited for the soundscapes they created for Marin's Dream. They are simply the gift that keeps on giving.

The idea that you are only interesting if you make radical change in your music/art is overrated. Any musician, visual artist, writer, film maker knows how hard it is to create something of value. If a radical change in your work comes from a genuine inspiration then that's great. But changing for the sake of change alone can be shallow. Good art/music is often the artist digging deeper into the thing that is their muse or core interest.

One of my favourite bands of all time, really. Their music as you say just... really taps into something special, something fundamental and intangible. It works so so well for me; I adore everything they've put out. Great video, you summed up what makes them special very well. As a fan, I naturally have some fan quibbles (disregard as appropriate) - I guess I disagree with the notion that Bloom sounds almost identical to Teen Dream... they really don't I think. They're similar of course, as BH never strayed too far from their core sound, but their music is the kind where little details go a long way. Replacing the hazy, cloudy, more winding songs on TD with a brighter, punchier sheen and more direct songs on Bloom drastically changes the album's character I think. I would never mistake a song from the Bloom sessions for one from the TD sessions. Nor would I mistake a song from TYLS for one from Depression Cherry for that matter - even though they were recorded in the same sessions and came out at basically the same time, they're clearly very distinct in terms of feel and even influences at times. And also - I think they are a band that are really good at iterating their sound across albums. Again, the core sound remains similar and they change other variables about it, and yet none of their albums sound 'the same' to my ear; especially when looking out for the details. No they don't stray too far from their sound, but I also don't think they need or want to (and their music as you say is very defined by their own will and desire), for the most part. I also think that on 7 and especially Once Twice Melody (that came after this video was released, so fair enough) they *really* expanded their sound. There is no way a detractor can listen to something like Dark Spring or Over and Over and go 'yep it's the same old Beach House', if they're actually trying to understand the music.

Love me some Beach House! Definitely hear other songs like "Souvlaki Space Station" by Slowdive, "She Weaves a Tender Trap" by Swervedriver and "Cherry Coloured Funk" by Cocteau Twins as an influence to their music.
