Beach House: atmospheric dream pop


The girl/boy duo from Baltimore will release their second album, "Devotion" Febraury 26 on Carpark Records. Victoria Legrand is French, the niece of film composer Michel Legrand who worked with French Director Jean-Luc Godard on several films. The other half of the band is Alex Scully who plays the keyboard. Rolling Stone magazine describes their music as, "a pastoral mix of Mazzy Star, Yo La Tango and Phil Spector-bred girl groups." In all, it is dreamy and calming. Their music can be heard on myspace: http://www.myspace.com/beachhousemusic
