Baltimore, Maryland, United States (2005 – present)

Beach House is an indie rock/dream pop group which formed in 2005 in Baltimore, Maryland, United States. The group consists of Victoria Legrand (vocals, organ) and Alex Scally (guitar, keyboards). Legrand is the niece of french composer Michel Legrand. The group have released two albums: 2006’s “Beach House” and 2008’s “Devotion”. A third, “Teen Dream”, will be released in early 2010.

Within a year of formation, the group 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. 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.

They are such an important band to me, maybe the most important, so it completely floors me that I have not seen them live yet. I have missed multiple opportunities to witness them play so I think that when I do finally see them, the experience will be better than sex on acid.

sudden_rush.. I received the album today and yeah, some of the songs were missing and I had the same feeling as you did. I thought perhaps I had some sort of factory misprint/defect, as illogical as that thought was, but it's not as illogical and having a pretty booklet with some, but not all the lyrics.

all of their albums so far have been distinctively wonderful. teen dream just happens to be the most distinctly wonderful of the three. talk about on repeat. Victoria has the soul of a 17th century nobleman and the voice of a mystic
