Beach House @ The Forum
0 Comments. 259 Views. Posted 22 Jan 2013 @ 1:02pm.
The last time I was spellbound by Beach House was at The Toff In Town, a more intimate setting than the grand old Forum. That was back in 2008, and their sound since then has become cleaner and bolder, bringing with it a wider fan-base. This doesn’t necessarily mean they’ve become better; my favourite recording of theirs is still 2008’s Devotion, followed closely by 2010’s Teen Dream. But their... Read More

Beach House

Baltimore dream-pop duo Beach House specialise in crafting lush and beautiful songs, their gauzy arrangements packed with gentle keyboard hums and haunting vocal melodies. Every two years or so, they release another amazing album – the most recent being this year’s acclaimed Bloom– although singer Victoria Legrand insists that there is no careful planning behind what they do. “Believe it or...

Beach House : Bloom
0 Comments. 1,296 Views. Posted 2 May 2012 @ 10:37am.
There’s a brutally efficient way to summarise the Baltimore duo’s fourth LP, and while labelling it as Teen Dream 2 is perhaps not an unsurprising summary, it unfairly underlines a ‘if it ain’t broke’ mentality that betrays Beach House’s characteristically organic craftsmanship.   Naturally Bloom’s predecessor was the pair’s breakthrough album, critics and fans alike flocking to the most...

Unwritten Law

This is the first interview I've ever done, I tell Unwritten Law vocalist Scott Russo. I'm really quite nervous. He laughs. "I'm glad that I could be a part of that, that's amazing," he says in that peculiarly sunny Californian drawl I heard coming from stage four at Brissy Soundwave earlier this year. "My boyfriend Toby was supposed to talk to you but he made me do it, because I'm such a... Read More

Brooklyn-based trio The Antlers are renowned for their finesse in the aural exploration of human emotion. Celebrated worldwide for their stunning sophomore release Hospice , the record, the result of two years of self-imposed isolation, told the hauntingly beautiful story of a man losing a loved one to bone cancer and explores the powerful notions of his memories, regret...

Foals

Walter Gervers, bassist and backing vocalist of British band Foals speaks to me down a muffled phone line in a charming accent. He seems spritely enough, so without much ado, I get straight into the nitty gritty: what’s the deal with the blue powder in the video clips from their latest album, Total Life Forever?   “When we were working on the record, a few weeks...

Well, New York eight-piece live dance music act !!!

Deerhunter

To put it mildly, Deerhunter had something of a good finish to 2010 with the release in September of their fourth LP Halcyon Digest . The record heralded a new direction for Deerhunter with the creation of more textured and instrumentally varied sound.   “There wasn’t a conscious effort to try and do things really different or step away from anything. It just was pretty... Read More

Baltimore duo Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally aka Beach House have penned in a Melbourne date to correspond with their appearance at the Laneway Festival.   At once exultant and melancholic, their third release Teen Dream, is classic, dreamy, timeless pop album that sets Legrand’s breathy vocals atop a rich, sparkling sonic bed of organ and guitar, that result in that rare kind of...
