Beach House is the musical duo of instrumentalist Alex Scally and vocalist/keyboardist Victoria Legrand. And as their namesake suggests, their music resonates with the kind of languid radiance of a spiritual retreat from the modern world. Building their signature sound from a few spare elements, lo-fi organs, harpsichords, and vintage drum machines, the pair crafts an exquisitely detailed atmosphere from minimal instrumentation. Legrand\’s hypnotic croon sits pleasingly against Scally\’s twanging pedal steel lines, suggesting a country-tinged Nico. On \”Turtle Island,\” the dirge-like drone of a harmonium offers a hauntingly baroque accompaniment to Legrand\’s tale of heartbreak. But somber and downcast is not the only mood on offer: \”Some Things Last (A Long Time)\” is their version of a Daniel Johnston chestnut, while \”D.A.R.L.I.N.G.\” offers their otherworldly take on `60s girl-group pop.
