Beach House - space song, 2015

"I don't need to analyze it because I'm grateful for it. I don’t think it's just that song, but if that is the gateway, then I'm happy about it. We both feel lucky that younger people keep discovering us and we're able to keep making records."

Beach House - all the years, 2008

"With Devotion, Beach House prove once again that they're one of the more strangely named bands around. Their music is so lonely, so haunting, that the only beach house it evokes is a deserted one, stranded on a winter night so desolate that summer isn't even a memory. Then again, that atmosphere is precisely what made Beach House's self-titled debut so striking, and Devotion is even more so, since Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally bring more focus, depth, and warmth to their unmistakable sound."

Beach House - silver soul, 2010

“Silver Soul” has the thick, churning gloom familiar from earlier Beach House records, but they acquire more force by being placed alongside tracks that allow for more light. Front to back, the arrangements and sequencing are superb."

Beach House - other people, 2012

"I just wanted to shoutout an amazing song that I think is underrated and also cemented my love for Beach House. I first heard Zebra and thought it was cool but it didn't really connect with me then. Years later, Other People was my next introduction to BH and it just resonated. I loved the intro, Victorias vocals, and the buildup to an amazing chorus to then slowly fade out. I then listened to Bloom and well the rest is history. With all of my praise of their whole discography, Other People will always have a special place in my heart."

Beach House - ten mile stereo, 2010

"I’ve honestly always thought this song was about their journey making music and them putting their hearts into it and throwing it out into the world. In this way their spreading love through the sacrifices they’ve made in making it and devoting to it."

Beach House - better times, 2010

"Sedate of pace, warm and soulful of texture, gentle of volume, and with a slightly background-ish quality that’s frequently punctured by the magic of singer Victoria Legrand’s almost supernaturally improved larynx; Teen Dream is a comforting record, not a demanding one, and there’s no shame in that."

Beach House - norway, 2010

"A percussive intro yields to an explosion of twinkling guitars and a chorus of woozy backing vocals. The core elements of Beach House's sound-- the drum machine, the thrift store keyboards-- are still present; they're just a few ticks faster. This makes a big difference."

Beach House - on the sea, 2012

"I had this song on repeat all day and went through all the theories on songmeaning and genius. Of course, Victoria will say it's whatever you derive from it, but that's just what every artist says"

Beach House - used to be, 2008

"Recorded over the summer of 2008 after many exhaustive months of touring, “Used To Be” contemplates the spiritual and physical effects of life on the everchanging road, love and getting older."

Beach House - walk in the park, 2010

"a walk in the park is a metaphor for something being easy, but the song doesn't seem like that at all."

Beach House - lover of mine, 2010

“Each song has its own story, each song has its own emotion. That’s what’s beautiful about songs or songwriting, and you get to make your own little universe, and then your album is a collection of universes that take a listener to some place, and each listener is a completely unique and different person from the next, and will have their own interpretation.”

Beach House - darling, 2008

"the album "resonates with the same formless essence as its predecessor, but also far exceeds it in both composition and execution"

Beach House - beyond love, 2015

"It's probably Beach House's most raw and emotionally potent song. If any track were to perfectly encapsulate the essense of Depression Cherry, Beyond Love is that song."

Beach House - ten thirty-seven, 2015

"Yeah shutting the eyes, I always feel that our band isn’t playing a good show if anybody has their eyes open."

Beach House - wildflower, 2015

"I'm really glad nobody came to our shows at the start, because we had no idea what we were doing."

Beach House - levitation, 2015

"To begin the band’s 5th studio album, Depression Cherry, is a melancholic, eerie, and dramatic song, “Levitation.” The song maintains a few repetitive synth cords that echo throughout the song. Sometimes I find that repetition in songs can be a huge deterrent for me, but in “Levitation,” I feel it helps illuminate the lyrics and provides a deeper meaning to the song."

Beach House - wishes, 2012

"I’ve been listening to it religiously for years and it still strikes the same emotional chords for me as it did the first time I heard it. I don’t think I’ll ever get sick of it and I can’t say that about any other song. Its truly magical."

Beach House - irene, 2012

"this individual is not yet aware of “Irene,” who stands to bring a substantial amount of light and compassion to their world."

Beach House - troublemaker, 2012

"At first I loved the transition the hours to troublemaker then to new year, then it was the chord progressions within the song, then the lyrics, and then the vocals had me sold by the fifth listen."

Beach House - new year, 2012

"Everything about this song is extremely addicting. The intro draws you into the world of the track so beautifully, then you get Vic’s amazing vocals. However, my favorite part of the song is the bridge(?) (“all you ever wanted”). The guitar has this very melancholic sound in between the rest of the instrumentation. The synth is beautifully calming yet a little sad. It’s the chord progression that does it for me."
