"In general, this record shows a return to simplicity, with songs structured around a melody and a few instruments, with live drums playing a far lesser role. With the growing success of Teen Dream and Bloom, the larger stages and bigger rooms naturally drove us towards a louder, more aggressive place; a place farther from our natural tendencies. Here, we continue to let ourselves evolve while fully ignoring the commercial context in which we exist."

I'm so happy. 2015 <3

great - its about time !

ridiculous title and cover, gonna be good. i like it that they seem like interested in getting less bombast, there's still a lot to explore with s/t-devotion sound. the latter is probably still my favorite, it's midday, suburban lazy atmosphere is just so alluring.

I really like it for some reason. It's the kind of cover that would of grabbed my attention as a kid at a CD store way back before I actively bought and listened to music.

Reg. the cover: "Yes, the sleeve for the LP and CD (pictured above) are made of actual red velvet."

Beach House has always been hit or miss for me... like Vampire Weekend.

Gonna drop a mixtape titled Social Anxiety Kumquat now brb

yeah i can agree with this.

lol yeah!

I read the title as Depression Curry.

this album is a complete blur, after 2-3 songs in it just washed over me me with its dreamy, hazy, pleasantness. couldn't tell where one song ends and the other begins. not sure it's a compliment, it all sounded pretty unremarkable on that first listen with the exception of the gorgeous PPP coda that kinda woke me up and i had to play it again.

Yeah the album sounds very formulaic. At least Beach House chilled out with that organ that used to be in every song.

haha yea

I'm not really feeling this one

I lol'd.

I kind of like the organ tbh. There's a version of Silver Soul I like more than the album version because it's got such a prominent Wurlitzer lead in it.

Anyway, I enjoyed Depression Cherry, but like others said already it's just another Beach House album, they haven't strayed away from their formula at all, in fact they said it was a return to their first albums (which I need to revisit)

Perfect album. With this and the upcoming Helen (and Health <3) I don't see any reason to buy more music this year. So good.
