Although shy, new album is still a 'dream'
By Justin Stephani and Erin Rushmer | Jan. 28, 2010The official website of Beach House, the four-year-old, two-person ""dream-pop"" duo, brings you to a single image of the two acting like a pair of misfit, ironically swanky teens. You can't see their faces. There is a sculpture of a head with multiple faces in between them, and Victoria Legrand's hand is tucked into her pants next to her belt buckle, where ""GIT SUM!"" has been MSPainted in. To boot, the three links on the page—aside from those accessing a new Teen Dream single—are miniscule and hidden. As a whole, this is uncannily indicative of the unabashed timidity and awkward social remoteness Beach House purvey through their music.
