Frank Yang Given the unrelenting heat that defined the first two days of Pitchfork 2010 , a forecast of rain for Sunday wouldn't have been the worst thing in the world and indeed, we got an impressive flash thunderstorm around noon - perfectly timed as I was still holed up in the hotel room. Unfortunately, said mini-monsoon didn't actually wash away any of the heat, it just made it more humid. Awesome. I don't imagine the heat was bothering Best Coast , hailing as they do from the sunny climes of southern [...]

[mp3] Beach House: "Master of None" See, good things happen to good bands. Nothing more to say here other than congrats from Stark! Here are the details from their new label on what we can expect from the new Beach House record. In July the band took a break from touring to head to upstate New York to record with Chris Coady at Dreamland Studios in Woodstock. They spent a solid month in solitude writing and recording in the church-converted-to-studio compound. What they emerged with is their [...]

My Italo-Disco-Special that run on Radio-Schweden last Saturday was apparently a huge success (or so I was told). So we've decided to re-run it again this week. If you like to be transported back into those glorious 80s-Disco-times, tune in this Saturday at 9 pm MEZ! And if you've missed it so far, my Denmark Special is on air tonight from 8 pm MEZ. I've also tampered with the schedule on my radio Northern Lights [...]

My name is David August Skylar. I am 43, I make clay pottery and I have a story to tell. Last Monday, I awoke in my pueblo to a beautiful sunrise. As I did my daily Tai Chi exercises, I looked out into the sky, and saw Ra, the sun god beckoning me to see the beauty of nature. I went back into my pueblo, and fed my guinea pig, Ozark. Then, I stripped naked and ran. I just ran. I ran as fast as I could in no specific direction. Hours later, I found myself in [...]

I've been hearing a lot about Beach House ever since last year, but I've never been able to get into them. I don't think I have the patience to give them a shot. They have a cool sound, but I wish they would just double the speed of their songs. Hopefully I'll get around to giving them a fair chance soon, because I've heard good things. Check it out for yourself. Beach House - Gila Beach House - Master Of None [...]

Yhdysvaltalainen dreampop-duo Beach House saapuu Tavastialle sunnuntaina 30. marraskuuta. Duo tuo mukanaan toisen nousevan amerikkalaisartistin Jana Hunterin , joka on tuttu myös CocoRosien varhaisesta kokoonpanosta. Baltimoresta ponnistavan Beach Housen muodostavat vokalisti-kosketinsoittaja Victoria Legrand ja kitaristi-kosketinsoittaja Alex Scally . Mazzy Stariin, Galaxie 500:een, Yo La Tengoon ja Slowdiveen verrattu duo on julkaissut uransa aikana kaksi albumia ja kasvattanut tasaisesti suosiotaan erityisesti indie-piireissä. Kokoonpanon musiikissa voi indien ohella kuulla kaikuja esimerkiksi Motownin 60-lukulaisesta popista sekä Zombiesin, Neil Youngin, Velvet Undergroundin ja Dusty Springfieldin kaltaisten artistien soundista. Liput konserttiin maksavat 14 euroa ja [...]
Cardinology is out soon , and Ry's celebrating by setting videos of himself doing new songs on Vimeo to PRIVATE MODE. But since we have the password, you should probably head over and watch. (Password = "classic") Also, you can hear a snippet of the studio version of " Fix It " at the once-again resurrected Foggy blog (thanks again, Matthew B.).

Download: Beach House - "Master of None" Download: Beach House - "Gila" The ethereal, mid-tempo sound of dream-poppers Beach House is one that both detractors and admirers agree takes a goodly amount of time to properly digest. On their second album, Devotion , the band smoothed over the rough production edges of their 2006 self-titled debut album. That doesn't mean they've gone all Hannah Montana on us; indeed, the core sound remains. What has changed, though, is that on songs like "Gila", is that the [...]

This interview appears in this week's Wireless Bollinger . “I didn’t know what blogs were when our record came out,” says Alex Scally, one half of Baltimore-based duo Beach House. Scally found out only after the band’s self-titled debut album caught on, receiving online praise and finishing at number 16 on Pitchfork’s Top 50 Albums of 2006 list. With Victoria Legrand on vocals and organ, Beach House creates woozy, ethereal dream pop. Their sophomore album, entitled Devotion, will be released on February 26th. The band recorded Devotion at Lord Baltimore Recording, [...]
