For a bit less than a week now, I've been obsessed with this group called Beach House.
I don't pay much attention to what the gnarly young people are listening to these days, but I was in a shop, and heard this band playing, and loved it so much that I asked the cashier who it was.
So I then went a bit YouTube crazy for a few days, and then yesterday bought their new album, Teen Dream. I really, really, really love it. I'm as excited as when I stumbled upon Bon Iver a couple of years back.
They are a duo from Baltimore, and they remind me at different times of a whole range of old stuff that I like: Cocteau Twins, My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Fleetwood Mac, Siouxsie and The Banshees, Kate Bush. And they have a cool gothy vibe that I like too.
Hard to pick a favourite, but I love this one, this one and this one.
