Beach House = Real Love
March 18th, 2010 | Posted by Drummer JohnI’ve never been much of a Beach House fan – their previous two albums were a little bland, slow, and predictable for my taste. However, their most recent release, Teen Dream, is one of the best albums I’ve heard in a long, long time (and I can say that confidently). Each song from the record stands on its own, and lead singer Victoria Legrand has one of those mournful, scratchy voices that you’d associate with an African-American soul singer. I’m going to see them on April 11th at the Rickshaw Theatre, and I’m pretty sure I’m going to cry when I hear them play “Real Love”, which you can listen to & tear up yourself here:

I agree completely. Past albums = Bland. Teen Dream = Awesome. This album gives me the shivers, I particularly like “Walk in the Park” and “Take Care of Me.”

I felt the same way as you about their first two records. This is a great song. Thanks for posting this!

I’m glad you both agree! It’s funny how the third album isn’t really more of a stretch – it has a little more variety and energy – and the result is so drastic. It is definitely my favourite album of the year thus far, and hopefully my favourite concert!

Love this album. “Real Love” is the standout for me too but I also liked “Silver Soul”, “Norway” and “Walk in the Park”
