Beach House are Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally, a Baltimore duo who formed in 2004 and have spent the years since making the slowest, loveliest haze in indie rock. Legrand sings and plays keyboards, Scally plays guitar and keyboards and programs the drums, and together they build songs out of drifting keyboards, chiming guitar and a voice that sounds like it's calling from the far end of a long hallway. Critics credit them with bringing dream pop back to life for a new generation.
They'd both been in the Baltimore band Daggerhearts before this. "Apple Orchard" got them noticed internationally in 2006 when Pitchfork put it in its Infinite Mixtape series, and the self-titled debut followed that October on Carpark, then Devotion in 2008. Signing with Sub Pop in 2009 set up Teen Dream in January 2010, the breakthrough, with "Zebra" and "Norway" swaying like curtains in a warm breeze. Bloom arrived in May 2012 and reached the top 10 of the Billboard 200, "Myth" leading the way.
Depression Cherry and its surprise companion Thank Your Lucky Stars both landed in 2015, 7 changed their sound in 2018, and "Space Song" went viral on TikTok in 2021, six years after its release. Once Twice Melody came out in 4 chapters starting in November 2021, and drummer James Barone, who'd toured with them since 2016, became an official member in 2022.
