Description:
Feeling lonely tonight? Turn off the TV and lower the lights. Baltimore duo Beach House have returned with their sophomore full length, entitled Devotion. Alex Scally and Victoria Legrand have written eleven delicate pop tunes about love, feeling, and, of course, devotion.Beach House have developed their craft exponentially since their self-titled debut (Mistletone, 2007). This time, the recording is crisper; the songs are fuller. This is a band that is taking the pop duo format to the limit.

The organs, slide guitars and reverb are still there, but Beach House lay out some new sounds for their newest offering. While on their debut critics made comparisons to early 1990s dream popsters like Mazzy Star, Galaxie 500 and Slowdive, on Devotion listeners will also hear the bands longtime admiration for 1960s Motown and country folk.

Devotion also features Beach Houses first cover: Daniel Johnstons Some Things Last a Long Time. It is beautiful!
