Beach House - Gila

“…hailing from Baltimore, Beach House’s second album “Devotion” is more like sleeping in a haunted, jeweled music box — all ghostly singing, lushly sparkling pop instrumentation and sensually dreamy melodies…”

“…falls into a personal category of music I call ‘David Lynch movie music’…”

I’ve had this one tucked away for awhile…this song keeps popping up everywhere for me. Radio, compilations, Pitchfork videos, etc. I finally downloaded the album, and if you like this song, well, the entire album is in pretty much the same eerie, generally lovely vein. Je t’aime tres beaucoup. Nice and gauzy, obscure melodies, and general shoe-gazing. Plus strong organ playing, which is rare these days. I actually thought the lead singer was male for the longest time! Whoops. Good music for hurricane-induced rainy DC days, watching your windows leak.

Here’s to “hoping for the lashing to arrive…”
