Interviews

For Beach House, Creativity is Life

The Baltimore duo on locking themselves in the studio, trusting their muses, and diving into new album Once Twice Melody

Feb 22, 2022

Beach House members Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally acknowledge that, like everyone else, they have been impacted by the string of devastating global events—and that the extended shutdown gave them time to explore the musical nuances of what would become their eighth studio album, Once Twice Melody. More

Oct 19, 2018

If you were to make a word cloud representing Beach House vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Victoria Legrand describing the creative process she shares with multi-instrumentalist Alex Scally, the word “intuition” would be bold and about twice as big as any other word. More

Aug 29, 2017

Though it seems like a distant memory, there once was a time when nearly every band that had a significant following would release a “B-sides and rarities” collection. More

Beach House

Hear the Universe

Aug 28, 2015

Though it has been only a little over 10 years since she started Beach House with bandmate Alex Scally, vocalist/keyboardist Victoria Legrand has the perspective of a much older musician. More

Beach House

Sex, Inspirations, and Video Collaborations

Apr 27, 2010

Earlier this year, vocalist/keyboardist Victoria Legrand and guitarist Alex Scallyalso known as Beach Housereleased their third album, Teen Dream. A collection of gauzy chamber-pop songs so enchanting Grizzly Bear’s Ed Droste repeatedly twittered about its “insanely perfectly gorgeous amazingness,” the album has garnered the hard-working duo a string of well-deserved accolades and (very) preemptive declarations of “best album of the year.” Under the Radar caught up with the pair at Coachella between their set and a well-deserved dinner to discuss youth, sex, and working on the road.

Reviews

Mar 29, 2022

In the Live Nation land of $14 parking and $33 library cocktails, doors at 8:00 must mean doors at 6:30. We arrived just in time to see opening act, Midnight Sun, play their last song to an already packed and sold out house. Hailing from the same Baltimore environs as Beach House, Midnight Sun sounds quite a bit like their elder statesmen, but leader Hanna Olivegren accompanies herself on autoharp, which lends a different tone to their songs.

In the middle of the 19th century, French writer Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr coined the term “plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose” or, for you Anglophiles out there, “the more things change, the more things remain the same.” Quite how this fairly unremarkable Parisian saw Beach House coming is something that it seems we’ll never understand.

Baltimore’s Beach House is universally beloved in the way that their mention will often elicit the kind of warm smile that you see on the face of someone deeply touched by a gesture. In that vein, their albums are artful parcels delicately wrapped with tender love and care. When you untie the bows, a lavender potion of harmonious synth and guitar wafts forth, pumped outward by the atomizer of electronic rhythm. More

Jun 30, 2017

Beware the B-sides and rarities album. Hardly an attempt to woo new fans, and commonly a ploy to keep devotees entertained between albums, B-sides and rarities albums may include some intriguing material but usually contain half-baked tracks that weren’t good enough to make it off the cutting room floor in the first place. More

Oct 19, 2015

When Baltimore dream-pop duo Beach House announced the existence of a new album less than two months after the release of this year’s excellent Depression Cherry, it was a surprise to many of their fans. The band declared that the album was “not a companion to Depression Cherry or a surprise or B-sides,” claiming that they were merely experimenting with release schedules. More

Jul 05, 2012

One does not turn to Beach House for effusive stage banter. With a series of shadows dancing across their faces from sidelights, and backlighting provided by a sheet of theatrical stars, the Baltimore-based duo kept chatting at Tuesday night’s show to a bare minimum. That is, save for a few perfunctorily thank yous. “It’s not that I don’t want to talk to you,” said keyboard/vocalist Victoria Legrand, acknowledging the duo’s seemingly aloof presence, “It’s just that it’s complicated.” More

May 11, 2012

Beach House isn’t really an “ain’t” kind of band, but the “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” piece of folk wisdom runs strongly on Bloom. Despite the album title, the duo picks right up where it left off on 2010’s Teen Dream.

It’s deceptively easy to see the career of French musician Serge Gainsbourg as one continuous punchline. With his distinctive vocal style—a muttered sing-speech—parodied almost into oblivion since his rise to popularity in the 1960s, the inclusion of his music in film or television seems to automatically indicate the horny bachelor, the ill-conceived seduction, or (horror of horrors) hipsters aiming to embrace kitsch with both hands. Last night at the Hollywood Bowl however, cool was the name of the game—as Beck, Zola Jesus, Victoria Legrand (of Beach House), Mike Patton, Ed Droste (of Grizzly Bear), The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger, Lulu Gainsbourg, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, sang, spoke and cooed their tributes to the late performer.

Although autumn had officially hit several days earlier, one would have been hard pressed to find any signs of the new season at Vampire Weekend’s unseasonably hot Hollywood Bowl debut Sunday night. Also making their sweat-drenched bowl debuts were African/Swedish band The Very Best, and Baltimore, Maryland’s Beach House. More

Day two started out much like day one, in fulltilt. Despite a bevy of physical ailments left over from yesterday’s marathon, making it to Camera Obscura’s set on time was worth another painful sprint across the field. However day two was light on the heavy hitters, and after the initial close call, I didn’t have to hustle to see sets from Beach House, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Hot Chip, MGMT, and Muse.
