Baltimore-based band Beach House's dreamy sounds make you feel like you're floating through a dusty costume closet in a magical attic. Trust me, it's a cool feeling.This year's Devotion is the second album for the band whose music has been hailed by Pitchfork and been compared to that of alt-rockers Mazzy Star and the Velvet Underground's Nico. The band is fronted by the crooning Victoria Legrand (vocals/ organ) and Alex Scally (guitar/ keyboard) and was playing in Baltimore tonight at Sonar (unfortunately couldn't make it...) and afterwards will finish the rest of 2008 opening for The Walkmen.
I can't help but appreciate it when the locals produce awesome tunes. Interested? Listen to "Wedding Bell", the opening single on Devotion, or "Heart of Chambers" to get that hazy, "i'm-happily-floating-away" feeling....if only vicariously.
