Beach House "Bloom"
JUNE SIMMS: The two member group Beach House just released their fourth record album, eight years after the first. The Los Angeles Times newspaper says the new album, "Bloom," is a "lovely lullaby." American Songwriter calls "Bloom" either "beautifully sad or sadly beautiful." And Rolling Stone gave it four and one half stars out of a possible five.
Faith Lapidus plays some of the new album.

FAITH LAPIDUS: That song was called "Myth." It is the first song on "Bloom." And it was one of only two singles released before the album.
Victoria LeGrand and Alex Scally of Beach House
Victoria LeGrand sings and writes Beach House songs. She told a reporter that she and Alex Scally thought "Myth" would be a great gateway into the album. The song starts with the words: Drifting in and out /See the road you're on / You came rolling down the cheek / You say just what you need
"Troublemaker" has a similar simple poetry. Victoria LeGrand sings, like a hand you reached out to me / the thunder rolls in with the dark / tiny fingers on the edges / watch it unravel pulling everything apart

Beach House travelled to a recording studio in Tornillo, Texas. The rural beauty of the southwestern town seems to have lent a quiet dreaminess to the album. Victoria LeGrand says the album itself is a journey. "A bloom is only temporary" she says, "a fleeting vision of life in all its intensity and color."
We leave you with Beach House performing "On the Sea" from the group's new album "Bloom."
