Beach House - Norway

Beach House is a band out of Baltimore with two records already in rotation. If you know one song by them, it's most likely 'Used To Be', off of their second album 'Devotion'. There has been a ton of buzz surrounding their new album 'Teen Dream' that leaked on the internet in November. I grabbed the early copy and listened to it for all of December/what is of January. It's dream-pop at it's best. Very slow, ambient like rhythms and haunting lyrics. The entire album is great, but the first five tracks are absolute perfection.

Itunes has chosen to feature the lead single off 'Teen Dream' as the free download of the week. 'Norway' is very dreamy, Victoria Legrand moans and howls over the guitar lines of Alex Scally. There is no doubt this album will hold up in 2010 and contend for album of the year, so be sure to grab it.
