depression cherry 4 life

I think it’s Teen Dream.

At the right moment, Take Care can really get me.

The best Beach House song might be Elegy to the Void off Thank Your Lucky Stars though.

― treeship 2, Friday, 19 January 2018 02:38 (eight years ago)

yeah elegy to the void is one of their finest moments for sure

voted bloom with depression cherry and thank your lucky stars as my other top 2

What a fantastic band though.

― treeship 2, Friday, 19 January 2018 02:41 (eight years ago)

i'm thinking bloom, but probably only cause that's the one that came around when i was most at a "beach house-y" point in my life

― austinb, Friday, 19 January 2018 02:45 (eight years ago)

the spoon of dream pop in terms of consistency, truly

I was so sad when I studied abroad in Denmark. I had a good time but it was a sad time. I listened to Teen Dream a lot.

― treeship 2, Friday, 19 January 2018 02:47 (eight years ago)

All of these albums are good though. There are usually at least one or two songs on each album that I find jaw droppingly beautiful. On Bloom that’s Lazuli.

Devotion

I remember in 2010 feeling really bad for them when they had Teen Dream in January and Katy Perry had Teenage Dream in the summer.

― flappy bird, Friday, 19 January 2018 04:50 (eight years ago)

I felt bad for Katy Perry.

― geoffreyess, Friday, 19 January 2018 05:33 (eight years ago)

such a great band

― the tune was space, Friday, 19 January 2018 05:37 (eight years ago)

Teen Dream no doubt

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Teen Dream, the first one I heard. I find it kinda hard to put myself in the place I was when I first heard it though. I thought the vocalist was a wonderfully feminine sounding man and was shocked when I discovered, some time later, that it was a woman. I can't hear it as a man now. I know what I thought but I can't get there.

Same! I thought Alex Scally was the singer til my friend corrected me.

― geoffreyess, Monday, 22 January 2018 02:13 (eight years ago)

voted for Bloom because I think it has the best recording of Victoria's voice, but know that Teen Dream is the correct answer.

― campreverb, Monday, 22 January 2018 03:13 (eight years ago)

Bloom seems the most consistent and transcendent to me. With the Teen Dream and DC in a very close 2nd

― octobeard, Monday, 22 January 2018 08:19 (eight years ago)

bloom and some of depression cherry are all i've ever managed to get into, idk why i don't like them more

four months pass...

anyone have any qualms about redoing this with 7 added?

― don piano (Ross), Thursday, 24 May 2018 19:35 (seven years ago)

not at all! but maybe we should wait a bit longer to allow it to sink in a bit more

― joshywinty (josh), Thursday, 24 May 2018 22:27 (seven years ago)

You got it josh :)
