memory sounds,
By
This review is from: Beach House (Audio CD)
this is at the base, mysterious, at first listen i cant even be sure if its intended to be songs , more a memory that weezes trough the wooden cracks of a haunted place on a sunny october day. and then the melodies and gravity of the singing pulls you trough its walls and you are in the beach house where everything is suspended as in a glorious and dusty sunbeam.those two have been intent on making a records sounding like ghosts sharing their best anecdotes and they succeed. what could have been so dark ends up if not peaceful,serene. and the measure of the peeks is so well dispensed, all of those hits their mark never as sparks but as a natural high. this music is damp in a good way like sitting on the oceanside at dusk, bordering on cold but kept warm by the pleasure of the day. the bands name says all. that cd never stays on the shelf for too long for me. its strangely magnetic. spooky good.

5.0 out of 5 stars
haunting, beautiful music,
By Joseph Broze - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Beach House (Audio CD)
I don't know if this band really sounds like Mazzy Star or Slowdive...but they are certainly influenced by them. I saw them at Emo's in Austin and the Subterranean in Chicago and I was floored by their live performace (despite the amazing amount of douchebags that feel the need to chit-chat while bands are playing...go to a bar where bands aren't playing you mongoloids!!!).This CD is very, very, very good. There are all sorts of influences...maybe a little shoegaze, Magnetic Fields, aforementioned bands, and whatever else. I am not sure what else to say. "Tokyo Witch" is one of the best songs I have heard in the past couple years. I am very excited to see them for a third time in one year at the Pitchfork festival this summer. Folks...listen to the songs on the band's myspace site and if you dig them: buy the CD. It really grows on you. Solid music here, I hope they do another album. 3 of 4 people found the following review helpful

buy this album,
By Jason L. Stankowski - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Beach House (Audio CD)
...I did, because I read that Beach House is like a better Mazzy Star. (In my opinion they're not better, just similar.) Upon hearing BH, I fell in deep. An evening spent with this album and a flickering candle is an event. "Apple Orchard" is about as beautiful as any song I've ever heard sung.

BH has replaced Opal and Kendra Smith as my go-to sublime band. I never thought I'd find music as beautiful as Opal's "Early Recordings". Also way better than Mazzy Star or the over-rated Hope Sandoval.
