Teen Dream by Beach House
Teen Dream is an album by Beach House, released in 2010. 4 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 22 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Zebra”, on 9 lists with a best position of #7.
Teen Dream, Beach House's third album, came out on January 26, 2010, their first full-length for Sub Pop after leaving Carpark, and it's the moment the Baltimore duo stepped out of the fog and into the light. Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally spent about nine months writing it after touring Devotion, then cut it over July 2009 between Dreamland Studios in Hurley, New York, and DNA in New York City, producing and arranging it themselves with Chris Coady as co-producer.
The dream pop is still here, all hazy keyboards and slow-motion guitar, but the songs are bigger, warmer and more sure of themselves, with Legrand's smoky voice pushed right up front. "Norway" went out first as the lead single and the whole album leaked days later; "Zebra" followed on Record Store Day. Critics hailed the change in sound, it's often called their breakthrough, and Bloom followed in 2012.
