Beach House - "Dive"

New Trackstheneedledrop1 Comment

Yesterday, Beach House shared “Dive,” the second single from their upcoming album, 7. The song features the dream pop mainstay’s typically spacey and reverb-heavy sound, but doesn’t follow the structure featured in lead single “Lemon Glow.” Instead, “Dive” is a slow build starting with synths and a steady bass drum, escalating to echoing drums and layered shoegaze guitars.

In addition to detailing the new album, Beach House has announced a world tour that kicks off on April 30 in Chattanooga. 7 is slated for a May 11 release via Sub Pop.

Beach House - "Wishes"

VideosadminComment

Beach House drops an Eric Wareheim-directed video for the track "Wishes," and it's absolutely insane. The stellar track comes from the band's latest album, Bloom, and it's a hilarious goof and spoof on sporting events.

Just about everything in the video is ridiculous; however, what Wareheim does so well is compounds all of these silly elements to create a world that actually seems pretty legitimate in it's own right.
