on the sea is not only one of my favorite tracks on bloom, its not only one of my favorite beach house songs, its genuinely one of the most amazing songs I've ever heard and to be created.
Beautiful album, I think “Myth” is one of the best songs of its time. Flawless track. As you mentioned this band does get pretty monotone when you listen to their albums as a whole. They always have standout tracks but also tracks that just blend together. Even so, I always enjoy them. They seem quite influenced by Cocteau Twins, which I hope you’ll do more reactions to someday. I remember seeing you listen to Heaven or Las Vegas. Treasure and Blue Bell Knoll would be the next obvious choices I think.
I feel like Beach House is one of the few bands that can get away with their songs kinda blending into each other 😂 They have their "thing" and they do it well so I'm not going to complain 💁🏽♀️ Edit: Also, yes, more Cocteau Twins!!
Honestly, I have found that their lyrics aren't talked about by people nearly enough in general. I think a lot of people who find the band repetitive or boring just see it as background music to vibe to. But man, Victoria Legrand is probably one of my favorite lyricists, and a lot of the lines and words in context just elevate their songs to a whole other level.
Please Keep Going! Depression Cherry is next…. My Favorite Album from Beach House! It saved my life, and i thank Beach House for Bringing it To Life ❤️
This album was definitely life changing for me. I really did not understand on first listen (on Teen Dream i did), but the sound kept drawing me in and it blew my mind at one point. I've listened to it so much by now it became part of me, sometimes cathartic. Myth is one of the best album openers of all time btw
About ur comment on her voice and reverb: Her voice has a whispery quality to it (even in higher volumes) that makes it sound so good and emotional, the reverb makes it stand out AND she is a really good singer with a subtle but fast vibrato, I think that's why it sounds that good, its like she is singing a lullaby in your ear
Every song on this album is perfect.. it was the first time I ever understood someone say "An album with no skips" cause it would be this one!!! Love love love love loveeeee them so much words cannot even describe
Rewatching this again! You wondered why the closing track has that silence at the end... it's because Beach House wants you to listen to the album front to back. In the days before music went digital, you'd throw a record on and have it playing in the background while doing other things. When you're doing that, you won't really notice when the album ends, and that last three minutes will creep up on you and surprise you. I've had this album on in the background before and forgotten to turn it off, and then that last track starts playing and it scares the bejesus out of me lol. But it kind of slowly slides up on you, and then you're happy because the song is like a warm hug after the catalystic tumult of the rest of the album. It makes more sense when you understand it that way I think
@@koob_ Huh? Obviously I know that. I’m describing it for people who don’t know what it is. You only have to move it over if you want to skip over the few minutes of silence. If you just leave it though, it creeps up on you
please get into sweet trip!!! it’s another great dream-pop/shoegaze inspired band. You will never know why is one of the biggest albums in the dream-pop genre. But velocity design comfort is also really good and influential, just more idm/electronic inspired.
If you want a similar artist to check out I can highly recommend Wild Nothing. Particularly the album Nocturne, but Gemini is also really good. He's creating the same kind of atmosphere/vibe imo but the songs are a bit more varied and driven.
@@DAVECHER it's a hidden song, no one would usually think it is present there unless they keep spinning the record... It kinda adds to the surprise element of the album... Just like in IGOR, the 4th song is a surprise song... I guess even the last song on Kid A was supposed to be a hidden song...
those hidden tracks were kind of common when people were mainly listening on CD or Vinyl before the era of streaming. people would forget to turn off the record and be caught off guard but rewarded with a bonus track! there's a whole wikipedia article about it en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidden_track
About halfway through and it seems like you're "getting" them! There's not a ton of sonic variation, but whatever they do, they do it really well and it sounds great. I hear what you mean about New Year though. Pretty sure the first time I listened, that part kinda threw me off a bit, but I think the overall goodness of the song kinda outweighed that part (though I know you have more issues with it than that). I've been on a bit of a Brian Eno kick the past couple of days. Not sure if you've heard him before, but he's got amazing music. I'd recommend albums 1-3 and 5. His 4th album is a bit of a departure from the 4 I'm recommending, which isn't a bad thing at all, just different (much more minimalist overall). I'm a huge fan of early Eno. Other people can recommend his ambient stuff 💁🏽♀️ It would be very cool if you did a reaction, but truthfully I just want you to hear it at all because it's so good and I think you'd appreciate it.
perfect album for summer. let me know which Beach House album I should do next!
Once Twice Melody
Once Twice Melody. It's my personal favorite by them, it is so incredible.
Devotion
depression cherry is the next

@@ijustneedmyself agree! It’s always nice to listen to, even when it blends together.

If you ever have the chance, they’re phenomenal live
The Hours and Trouble maker are some of my favorite songs ever! I always listen to them together :) wonderful reaction

The music video for "Wishes" is um... a personal favorite of mine. Unexplainable really. Just check it out.
🤣 Leland!
Missoula!!!
Directed by Eric Wareheim of Tim and Eric fame which may begin to explain why it's so unconventional
Layers upon which you can lay and fall into nostalgic sunny vibes to, man.
There's literally an organ in every Beach House song lmao.
Every song on this album is perfect.. it was the first time I ever understood someone say "An album with no skips" cause it would be this one!!! Love love love love loveeeee them so much words cannot even describe
Bro I would give ANYTHING to listen to this album for the first time again. Youre so lucky

no, it’s because there’s a hidden track. you have to move the needle over on a vinyl lol

@@Cyamer your entire interpretation of irene is based on the assumption that there’s no hidden track
@@koob_its not a hidden track if its a part of the fucking song lol
@@mcgfn no. “wherever you go” is the hidden track that goes in the silence. u are free to google lmfao
Myth is like one of my fav songs of the 2010
Do some bjork reactions u gonna love it.
On the sea is the best song on the album

yes plss check out vdc
I’m so sad new year didn’t hit, the bridge synth bends blow my mind every time
The buildups in this album hit my heart every time, I agree!
Oooooo I've been waiting for this review! :):)

Nice profile pic, and thank you for the rec
Basically the album ends with the first part of Irene then the 2nd part is a bonus song, no idea why they didn’t just separate them.
Because it's a "hidden song"
hmm yeah that's kinda weird

YAAAYYYY BEACH HOUSEEEEE

The extra track sounds a lot like their first album. You should check that one out.
OMG YOU DID IT
'Wild' is the best song ever.
I really love Wishes
Myth and Irene are my top 2 beach house songs
You should react to the Orange album that one is really good. Also I don’t know the name that’s why I said orange but it’s decent. Alright take care.
Yo! Do you review songs/take submissions? 👀
LOOOVE BEACH HOUSE
Hey @Davecher, I like to hear your reaction opinion on 3 of my songs.
It's not "Strange paradise" it's "Strange Pair of Dice" /j
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

It's called "having a different opinion" and it's ok :)
How about yours?
My least favorite is troublemaker
@@Straumnes everything bout "new year" N "other ppl" touches strings of my soul... i cant understand how he reactin to it like "meh"
