New Beach House – Norway [mp3]

Baltimore’s Beach House gave us all a treat yesterday when they unveiled the first taste of the upcoming third album Teen Dream with the track “Norway”.  To say this track is great is an understatement.  It’s friggin golden and is making this week sound soooo much better.  For this album Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally grabbed Chris Coady and burrowed away in a church in upstate New York to record.  The isolation and musical saturation sure paid off.  “Norway” is as powerful as it is melodic – yes much like the Beach House of old – but taken to a higher level in all aspects.

mp3: Beach House – Norway

The single for “Norway” will be released as a 7″ on January 11th with a b-side of “Baby”.  Teen Dream will be released via Bella Union on January 25th.

Published on March 11, 2009 in The Run Down. 4 Comments Tags: , , .

Another night comes and Baltimore is swelling with good shows. Sonar has a dynamite one with local favorites Beach House, Vetiver, Sian Alice Group, and Steve Strohmeier. The Metro Gallery has good one with Brazil’s Nancy while Joe Squared has Person Parcel and FFHH. Down in DC don’t miss out on The Antlers and Nunchucks at the Black Cat. If you do hopefully you’ve made it to the Rock and Roll Hotel to see All The Saints, These Arms Are Snakes, and Clouds. Finally in DC comes hip hop/poet/gap commercial rapper Common to the 9:30 Club. Enjoy!

Every body’s day of unluck has arrived full of black cats, shattered mirrors, and sidewalks full of ladders to walk under.  How about avoiding all that crap and go to some shows?  There’s a ton!  First here in Baltimore the Metro Gallery has The Snowmen, Cortez Cortez, and Inflatable Hair (1/2 of Impossible Hair) while the Zodiac gets everyone ready for Valentine’s Day with Beach House, The Creepers, and Dodgers.  If you want something with a bit more bounce head over to Sonar to see Talib Kweli, Jean Grae, DJ P-Funk, and Busy Bee.  If you want to do some good, how about heading over to the Senator for the Save The Senator benefit show featuring Wye Oak, Jana Hunter, The John Hardy Boys, US Royalty, Payola Reserve, and more.  Also down in Annapolis The Whiskey has Baltimore’s Telesma.  Down in DC there’s Imperial China and New Rock Church Of Fire at the Rock and Roll Hotel while Jason Mraz and Ben Folds play the Smith Center.  Up north in Philly the Northern Liberties Festival continues at the Fire with Drink Up Buttercup (awesome), Orbit To Leslie (also awesome), The Lisps (super awesome), Jotto (pretty rad), Hezekiah Jones (so awesome even my mom likes ‘em), and Spinning Leaves (also pretty friggin rad).  That’s an awesomely rad show!  Good luck!

New Beach House Video “Used To Be” and Tour Dates w/ The Walkmen

Published on November 29, 2008 in News and Video. 0 Comments Tags: , , .

Beach House have just released their new video (p4ktv) for “Used To Be” off of their 7″ single they put out this past October. The video, directed by Matt Amato, is a beautifully shot desolate western traveler that feels so distant from the chill in the air right now. Quite amazing though. Check it:
