Beach House, a band fond of metaphor, titled their latest album 'Bloom' to describe the progression, refinement, and maturation of their sound. 'Bloom', their fourth album and second on Sub Pop, is a blossoming of their meticulously crafted music. With their lush and almost languid compositions, Beach House has always won over audiences effortlessly. Their music is cinematic, impressionable, and moody. Victoria LeGrand's Nico - like but softer vocals glide over the delicate interplay of guitar and organ melodies. In 'Bloom', the instrumentation has developed from their previous works and grown into its own. No longer are their songs crude bedroom recordings. LeGrand and Alex Scally now utilize studio sound, precise mixes, and live full drums. Yet, an intimacy remains in the songcraft, in LeGrand's lyrics, her vocal delivery, and the band's sentimental touch. The album's direct pop track 'Other People' is a prime example of how the band pulls listeners in and makes them empathize. Its simple yet irresistible hook ensnares the listener. 'Bloom' is like being caught up in a film's plot or a novel's narrative, from the opening 'Myth' to the delicate closing pages.
