Depression Cherry by Beach House

Depression Cherry, Beach House's fifth album, came out on Sub Pop on August 28, 2015, and it's the Baltimore duo drawing the curtains after the widescreen swell of Bloom. Worn down by touring and unhappy with how live drums had worked on the road, Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally took six months off, then went back to the drum-machine pulse of their first two records. Legrand wrote the songs, the pair arranged and played everything themselves, and Chris Coady co-produced for the third time, with sessions at Studio in the Country in Bogalusa, Louisiana, from November 2014 into January 2015.

It's dream pop at its most hypnotic, Legrand's smoky voice drifting through Scally's slow-blooming guitar and keyboard haze, though some critics found it samey. Its second life came years later, when "Space Song" went viral on TikTok and turned up in Netflix's Wednesday, and in 2026 the album became their first to go platinum.
