Building Sounds:
Beach House
Baltimore band Beach House
has been building for half a
decade. Building a fan base,
sure, building up contacts and
contracts - normal indle-band
getting-big stuff. But what Beach
’ House is really all about is build
ing a world with its music.
It was 2006 when Victoria
Legrand and Alex Scally laid the
groundwork for what would be a
very successful next four years
by releasing their first, self-titled
album. The record established
the duo's echo-filled, musical
landscape sound, a sort of pop
music from the off-shore shal
lows.
Beach House amps up that
tradition with this year's Teen

Dream,' released on Sub Pop
Records. Essential elements of
Scally's delicate guitar and
Legrand's haunting, layered
vocals maintain the atmosphere,
but a live feel from the pulsing
drums adds urgency and energy
to the songs.
This release also marks
another level on which the band
hopes to establish its own world.
Included with the CD is a DVD
with short films for each song
created by a different artist, what
Legrand calls a “visual curatlon,"
“For us it was exciting
because it was a risk... but it
made us feel like we were giving
a real package to our tans,'
Legrand said. “I think this was
one where we wanted to push a
little bit farther and see what we
could do."
Legrand and Scally have
also taken steps to enhance the
visual atmosphere at live shows
to match their music.
"We try to utilize visual things
subtly, simply, to create a uni
verse for people who are coming
to see us,“ Legrand said.
Glowing pyramids cacn be
found onstage with the band this
time around, adding an ambigu
ous feel of otherworldliness to
the shows, of which there are
many. With 150 shows already
played this year, Beach House
is still on the road.

tact that I don't think we’re

hasn't killed us. I think this year
has just made us more excited
about the future, working more,
building more stuff."
