Beach House

Beach House是一支于2005年成立于马里兰州巴尔第摩的双人dream pop和indie-rock乐队。他们熨人心脾的音乐与Mazzy Star和 Nico风格很像。他们的首张同名专辑在2006年Pitchfork Media排名上位列第十六位。
Beach House自从2006年发行首张同名专辑后技艺进步极其明显。录音更加清晰明快，歌曲更加饱满。这支乐队将双人流行乐队的形式发展到了极致。
风琴、滑棒吉他和混音器还一如往常，但Beach House在他们的最新专辑中展示出了一些新的风格。尽管对他们首张专辑评论都在把他们与90年代早期的dream流行音乐人Mazzy Star,Galaxie 500和Slowdive作比较，但在新专辑《Devotion》中还能听出乐队长期以来对60年代的Motown和乡村民歌的景仰。
Alex Scally (guitar/keyboards) and Victoria Legrand (vocals/keyboards), the latter of whom is the niece of French composer Michel Legrand, create the dreamy lo-fi sounds of Beach House. The Baltimore duo formed in 2005 with Legrand's Nico-like vocal hush and Scally's delicate instrumentation. Within a year, Beach House charmed indie music enthusiasts across the blogosphere with their languid songcraft, while the eerie warmth of "Apple Orchard" landed on Pitchfork's Infinite Mixtape MP3 series in August 2006. Two months later, Beach House issued their eponymous debut album for Carpark
