87. BEACH HOUSE - 7Top of the decade brought the incredible Teen Dream and then Bloom, and with a steady outut since 2006, their seventh album arrived last year. Label it chamber-pop, dream-pop - whatever - it's all good. While the former LP's have particular tracks that froth to the fore, 7 is more of a seamless sparkle. From the opener Dark Spring and onwards, Victoria Legrand has her vocals down in the mix mostly, and the production is the real shim-shim sharee.
It's playing as I write this after I've just worked for 12 hours. I'm flat out on the sofa, and I'd previously considered taking the trash to the store to recycle to get money to buy some sour candy bottles to get an overpowering sensation, but I ate some fromage frais instead. Is my existence really getting to the point where all I have to hope for is a lie down on the sofa? Seems to have brought a new meaning to the word "Couchsurfing" or more like "couch-crashing."
