7 by Beach House

Beach House

Sub Pop Records

Three years since its last release, Beach House has returned with one of the most consistent, focused and beautiful records of its career with 7. Rife with all of the lush, shimmery texture expected from a Beach House record, 7 still sees the band pushing its sound in new directions and working with firmer, tougher sounds and arrangements. These qualities give 7 a definition and a flow that is equal parts interesting and gorgeous. Instead of being content wandering through an exquisite fog or drifting through a sparkling expanse, 7 feels like Beach House taking us by the hand and leading us somewhere incredible. (Simon Weedn)
