MUSIC: Beach House



There's a tone (autumn) and a color (orange) to the music of Beach House inside of my head; whereas this summer consisted of Brightblack Morning Light, a more yellow hue. These two oft-compared bands certainly share many similarities, but while Brightblack's songs tend to be more of a sonic experiment (where will it end up?) , Beach House takes care to craft exquisite tracks that progress in a less skewed manner. Take a listen.

::: Beach House - Apple Orchard
::: Beach House - Master of None
::: Beach House - Auburn and Ivory

Beach House is playing in San Francisco on November 14 at The Hemlock Tavern along with The Parish (Oakland) and Over The Atlantic (New Zealand). It's a Bay Area must-see, my friends.
