At no point during Beach House's 35 minutes does it ever sound like the work of more than two people. Mostly, those people even sound human.
The more I think about it, a beach house actually sounds nice
For some reason I didn’t listen to their first two records when going through their discography, so here we are. This is good. Not great, but just good. I think it’s their weakest effort, but it’s not bad. This is definitely the most raw Beach House has ever been, and it’s the most scuffed on the production side of things. I think that might be one of my biggest problems, but they were finding their sound, so ... read more
(Band Binge: Beach House Part One of Eight)
Eh. It's fine.
So i'm not well versed in Beach House...like, at all. Seriously, I haven't heard a single album, haven't heard a track, haven't even heard a single goddamn sound of this band...but yet here we are.
