Once Twice Melody, Beach House's eighth studio album, landed on Sub Pop on February 18, 2022, though fans had been living with it for months: the Baltimore duo rolled it out in four chapters starting in November 2021. Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally produced it themselves, beginning back in 2018 at Apple Orchard Studio, their home base in Baltimore, and wrapping up at Pachyderm, United and Village Recorders in July 2021.
It is a sprawling double album, 18 songs deep, and it sounds like the band finally let the dream-pop haze spill over its banks. Chamber-pop grandeur swells up, neo-psychedelic swirls curl around Legrand's smoky voice, and Scally's guitar and keyboards stretch each chapter into its own weather system. Coming after the change of direction on 7, it plays like a slow-motion victory lap. Critics lined up to praise it, and the title track, "Hurts to Love" and "Superstar" went out as singles.
