Hands up who didn't like the last Beach House album? Hmm, not many. It was an excellent affair where their brand of woozy melancholy took on unexpectedly strong melodies to create one of those career defining albums that they'll now have a problem living up to.
What they've done here is pretty much do the same but with bigger more widescreen productions and songs that don't snag so easily. I'm finding the production a bit much to be honest. It's like David Fridmann has got his hands on them and then forced them through a wind tunnel. It veers a little more towards Zola Jesus and (dare I say it?) Florence and the Machine - okay, not that overblown but in comparison to their earlier stuff this ain't no lo-fi whimsy. All the elements are still there, less guitar and more dodgy synths, lots of reverb, a bit of an '80s Berlin thing going on. Less is more, less is more, less is more.
