...according to our Ant on 29 February 2008.

Mingus would wish he was here to review the Beach House 'Devotion' CD. In his absence I'll give it a whirl... Okay this is sophisticated late night lounge pop that makes me think I'd get the best out of it wearing a polo neck in candle light with a fag in one of those big cigarette holders and a smoking jacket. The lads are comparing this dreamy organ and atmospheric slide guitar pop to Galaxie 500, My Morning Jacket, Cass McCooms etc. There's bits of Mazzy Star in there too albeit not as haunting.

...according to thomas on 23 July 2008.

j'ai decouvert les beach house sur le blog des grizzly bears qui voyaient en eux le grand groupe de l'année 2008. Effectivement, des morceaux comme Gila sont vraiment fascinants. Le disque manque peutetre d'un petit soupçon de passion ou de tension sur la longueur, mais les compositions sont tres belles. Et la production, assez minimaliste, est encore plus delicate que sur le premier album.

What their label says...

1.   Wedding Bell
2.   You Came to Me
3.   Gila
4.   Turtle Island
5.   Holy Dances
6.   All The Years
7.   Heart of Chambers
8.   Some Things Last a Long Time
9.   Astronaut
10.   D.A.R.L.I.N.G.
11.   Home Again

Feeling lonely tonight? Then turn off the TV and lower the lights, for Baltimore duo Beach House have returned with their sophomore full length entitled “Devotion”… Alex Scally and Victoria Legrand have written eleven delicate pop songs about love, feelings, and, of course, devotion. Their new album is a sure-fire antidote to the winter blues.

Beach House have developed their craft exponentially since their 2006 self-titled debut. The recording is crisper; the songs are fuller. This is a band that is taking the pop duo format to the limit. The organs, slide guitars and reverb are still there, but Beach House lay down some new sounds for their newest offering. While on their debut critics made comparisons to early ‘90s dream popsters like Mazzy Star, Slowdive and Galaxie 500, on “Devotion” listeners will also hear the band’s longtime admiration for ‘60s Motown and country folk.
