If you are in the mood for wooze, look no further. Beach House have crafted a memorizing, drifting current somewhere between the Potomac and the Milky Way.
Yet, I was also surprised by the density and velocity of the album, which confidently swells and hastens between the more lovely, lucid meanderings. Sometimes these surprises take the form of entire songs, like the mind-melting "Norway" and the bouncy, nostalgic picnic "Used to Be."
The album is a lullaby, built around longer tracks that take time to create their texture, which is both Teen Dreams strength and weakness. This is one of those albums that might be best appreciated alone. Or with a few couch-bound friends.
Essential Tracks:
"Norway"
"Used to Be"
"Zebra"
