Dream Pop Duo Beach House Confirms Return to Missoula and Announces New Album ‘Once Twice Melody’

Baltimore-bred dream pop duo Beach House will return to Missoula for a live show at The Wilma on Friday, April 1, 2022.

Formed in 2004 by vocalist/keyboardist Victoria Legrand and guitarist/keyboardist/vocalist Alex Scally, Beach House has continued to grow their fanbase with their seamless melding of psychedelia and shoegaze. They’ve appeared on late shows like David Letterman and Jimmy Fallon, headlined large events like the Pitchfork Music Festival and have toured all over the world. Several of their albums like Devotion and Teen Dream have been praised by critics with Pitchfork listing the latter as number 5 on its “Top 50 Albums of 2010.” Their visually immersive live shows create a one-of-a-kind experience that leaves the whole crowd in a pleasant, hazy dream space. Beach House will release their 8th album Once Twice Melody on Feb. 18, 2022. The first 4-song chapter will be available on all DSPs here. We’re looking forward to hearing the new material live!

About Beach House

One of the finest dream pop groups of the 2000s and 2010s, Beach House is the duo of vocalist/keyboardist Victoria LeGrand and guitarist Alex Scally. Over the years, Beach House moved from the charmingly lo-fi sound of early Carpark releases like 2006’s self-titled debut to the ethereal perfection of Sub Pop efforts such as 2012’s Bloom, but they always focused on hypnotic melodies and LeGrand’s velvety voice. Devotion LeGrand and Scally met in Baltimore’s indie rock scene and formed Beach House in 2004. They began releasing songs soon after, including “Apple Orchard,” which appeared on Pitchfork’s Infinite Mixtape MP3 series in August 2006. That October, the duo released their self-titled debut album, which drew comparisons to Nico and Mazzy Star, on Carpark. Early in 2007, Beach House recorded their second album in two months at Lord Baltimore Studio; the results were the fuller-sounding Devotion, which arrived on Carpark in 2008. Following a lengthy tour, Scally and LeGrand worked with producer Chris Coady on their Sub Pop debut Teen Dream. Released in early 2010, the album continued to refine the duo’s sound, and debuted in the Top 50 of the Billboard 200. Depression Cherry Beach House built on Teen Dream’s success with 2012’s Bloom, a unified sound and vision meant to be experienced as an entire album rather than a collection of songs. Working once again with Coady, the duo’s fourth album was their most polished yet, earning widespread acclaim and entering the Billboard 200 at number seven. In 2013, Beach House released Forever Still, a short concert film recorded around Tornillo, Texas, where the duo recorded Bloom. Two years later, LeGrand and Scally returned with a pair of albums that featured co-production by Coady and returned to the simplicity of their earlier work. The hushed Depression Cherry arrived in August 2015, while the stripped-down Thank Your Lucky Stars appeared that October. The 2017 compilation B-Sides and Rarities gathered together 14 tracks that included the never-before-released “Chariot” and “Baseball Diamond,” as well as the duo’s cover of Queen’s “Play the Game,” which originally appeared on the 2009 Red Hot Organization compilation Dark Was the Night. To make their seventh album, Beach House took a different approach. Working with Sonic Boom and live drummer James Barone, LeGrand, and Scally went into the studio to record songs as soon as they were finished. The results were 2018’s aptly named 7, which featured some of the duo’s most eclectic music yet.
