Thank Your Lucky Stars
The Baltimore duo\'s second album of 2015 is even moodier than its first, with exquisite layers of ringing guitar, funereal organs, and wobbly keyboards that seem transmitted from another dimension. \"Majorette\" and \"Common Girl\" are built upon Alex Scally\'s silky, arpeggiating lines, while \"One Thing\" grooves with quivering fuzz reminiscent of My Bloody Valentine. Victoria Legrand\'s vocals glide with the grace of a wraith guiding you to the light; \"Let us find elation,\" she offers, over the enchanting slow-dance sway of \"Somewhere Tonight.\"
Thank Your Lucky Stars is the 6th album from Beach House (and 2nd new full length of 2015)! The band have the following to say about it: “Thank Your Lucky Stars is our sixth full length record. It was written after Depression Cherry from July 2014 - November 2014 and recorded during the same session as Depression Cherry. The songs came together very quickly and were driven by the lyrics and the narrative. In this way, the record feels very new for us, and a great departure from our last few records. Thematically, this record often feels political. It’s hard to put it into words, but something about the record made us want to release it without the normal “campaign.” We wanted it to simply enter the world and exist. Thank you very much, Beach House”
Suprise release Thank Your Lucky Stars is Beach House's second full-length in as many months. Spiritually, the album feels closer to the darker mood the duo cultivated before they signed to Sub Pop.
Surprise record releases have become an entrenched fixture of the music world, but this one was particularly unexpected. It’s just not too often that an artist decides to debut a new album a little less than two months after dropping its last one. And yet here we are with a new record from the Baltimore-based pop duo…
Unlike waiting for policemen and buses, two Beach House albums in quick succession is a cause for celebration.
