Beach House
A Norman Records recommendation (10th August 2007)

This record left our Mingus feeling ecstatic.
Beach House: "S/T" (Bella Union) Debut album from this duo who hail from Baltimore, USA. This immediately makes me thing of long hot summers, sitting on a porch, an allotment or some flowery garden elsewhere far from maddening crowd. My ideal beach house would probably be either be in Bahia, Brasil or St Anns, Jamaica, i'd while away my hours idly reading, smoking varied quantities of marijuana, drinking beer with one eye out for the loveliest ladies of the locale. Oh yeah the music...by turns melancholic and wistful, gently strummed strings,slide guitar, pianos and warm percussion propels this collection that reminds us of Hope Sandoval, warm balmy evenings at dusk... A lovely thing.

Beach House “Beach House” CD
Take a vacation at the Beach House away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Let the Baltimore duo of Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally take you to a new place, a unique place where slow hazy pop fills the room with organs, slide guitars, reverb, echoes and simple yet unforgettable melodies.
Our Beach House contains memories from past trips, times, and places: ‘70s Southern California (lunch with Karen Carpenter), mid ‘90s England (star-gazing with Mazzy Star no doubt), a weekend at Warhol’s Factory in New York (shared a cab with Nico) and a camping trip in the Appalachians back in 1940 (with a country breakfast at Patsy’s).
