The Baltimore Sun profiles Beach House, and talks to the band about their new album, Teen Dream (out tomorrow).
Scally's excitement manifests itself on "Teen Dream." The new record is spontaneous and energetic, the melodies propelled by a fresh sense of urgency. Part of this comes from the duo's decision to bring in live percussion. With the first two albums, Beach House relied on electric drumbeats generated from Legrand's keyboards. "Teen Dream" has live drums and drum machines, side by side.
