Little Girls Covers Beach House’s “10 Mile Stereo”

Friday, February 5th, 2010

DOWNLOAD MP3: Little Girls – “10 Mile Stereo” (Beach House Cover)

Choosing to cover a song that’s practically perfect from the get-go isn’t usually the wisest thing to do, unless of course you happen to be Little Girls. Covering Beach House’s “10 Mile Stereo,” off of their astonishing latest album Teen Dream — which was reviewed by us last week — this rendition stays pretty loyal to it’s foundation, only Josh McIntyre’s distant lyrics go on to make the song far more shadowy and chaotic.

Beach House – Teen Dream Review

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

By the first week of 2009, the best album of the year – Animal Collective’s triumphant Merriweather Post Pavilion – had made its presence felt. In 2010, artists are seriously slacking. I mean, it took nearly three weeks of the new year for a very strong contender in this year’s race of “Best of’s…” to drop! (Even if it did leak nearly two months ago.) C’mon!

Beach House Tour Dates With Washed Out & Grizzly Bear

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

With one of the most anticipated albums of the year set to release in two weeks, Beach House has revealed a more in-depth tour schedule that will also see glo-fi artist Washed Out heading out in support. This especially comes as a surprise, considering the fact that in an interview last year with Pitchfork, Washed out stated that he “really wasn’t interested in touring”. Apparently, Beach House convinced him otherwise, at least for their southern leg of the tour. Grizzly Bear will be along for a few as well. All dates below:

New Beach House Song “Silver Soul”

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

“Silver Soul” appears before “Norway” on Teen Dream and also acts as a precursor for Beach House’s first released amazing single “Norway”, with a sustained organ riff that continues on through from one song to the next. Both songs are pretty damn solid, and while “Norway” flourishes in sweeping harmonies, “Silver Soul” is more of a transient experience, sounding a bit less radical but equally as impressive. Check out the song right now, which is streaming at Aziz Ansari’s blog 

Teen Dream will be dropping on January 26th via Sub pop

Fresh Track: Beach House – “Norway”

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

Beach House offer their latest single “Norway” – which is set to appear on their forthcoming Sub Pup debut due in store  on January 26th - Teen Dream, unwilling to withdraw their whimsical, dream-pop touches. Weaving in and out, Victoria Legrand’s vocals on “Norway” beautifully submerges the listener into far off realms of transience all over a droning, dissonant organ chord. I will shut up now. Listen below, and prepare to be overtaken.
