Beach House, Depression Cherry deserves to have some time spent with it.

Beach House, Depression Cherry deserves to have some time spent with it.

If Beach House hailed from the southern hemisphere we might know them as "The Bach".

The dream pop duo from Maryland, in the United States, could easily link their whakapapa to My Bloody Valentine but construct a more delicately constructed wall of noise.

It's a sound tailor made for chilling out in relaxed surrounds.

2010's Teen Dream album is regarded as the band's classic, a hook laden shimmering epic.

Depression Cherry isn't quite there, but the opening trio of tracks could easily have come from that golden 2010 period.

Levitation opens with strings that wash over Victoria Legrand's keyboards and unique voice, channeling Steve Nicks. Sparks isn't an obvious choice as a single, with its off kilter drone, but the guitar lines cutting through it create more than a few sparks.

Depression Cherry deserves to have some time spent with it, and with summer approaching, it's good timing.

Beach House
Depression Cherry
Rating: 3.5/5
