Beach House - Myth




Beach House are back for their fourth full length, Bloom, and are yet again pushing their sonic boundaries. "Myth" is an ethereal blizzard of heavenly arpeggios and Victoria's lush vocals, simultaneously sweet and ominous. Just what you'd expect from Beach House, only bigger.

As the cover for Parallax suggests, Atlas Sound has gone rock n' roll. The sonic gap that was once between Deerhunter and Atlas Sound has shrunk to ambient nuances, subtleties in texture. Bradford Cox assembles the colors and instrumentation of a band, but the dry mix shrouds Parallax in eerie solitude.

Accurate and faithful to the original, Holy Ghost!'s cover of "I Wanted To Tell Her" is arguably the more refined piece, adjusted for the listener's of today. LCD Soundsystem fans will feel right at home.

The original...
