Bloom by Beach House
Bloom is an album by Beach House, released in 2012. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 14 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Myth”, on 14 lists with a best position of #19.
Bloom, Beach House's fourth album, came out on Sub Pop on May 15, 2012, and it takes the lush dream pop of Teen Dream and pushes it further into the clouds. Victoria Legrand wrote every song, and she and Alex Scally arranged and played it all themselves, with Daniel Franz on live drums and Chris Coady back producing for a second go-round. After demoing in their Baltimore practice space, they spent nine weeks at Sonic Ranch in Tornillo, Texas, putting everything onto 24-track analog tape, then mixed it at Electric Lady in New York.
It sounds enormous and a little haunted: Scally's guitar ripples like heat off a highway, keyboards swell, and Legrand's smoky voice aches through songs about heartbreak, longing, death and lost love, darker than anything on Teen Dream. "Myth" and "Lazuli" were the singles, and the album debuted in the Billboard 200 top ten, the duo's highest showing yet.
