Baltimore’s Beach House are back with Depression Cherry, their fifth studio album. Following 2012’s Bloom, Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally recorded and produced the new album in Studio in the Country in Bogalusa, Louisiana last fall with Chris Coady (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV on the Radio, Grizzly Bear). Depression Cherry is out August 28th via Sub Pop Records.
In general, this record shows a return to simplicity, with songs structured around a melody and a few instruments, with live drums playing a far lesser role. With the growing success of Teen Dream and Bloom, the larger stages and bigger rooms naturally drove us towards a louder, more aggressive place; a place farther from our natural tendencies. Here, we continue to let ourselves evolve while fully ignoring the commercial context in which we exist.
