It’s a snowy Friday here in Tennessee. All the more to settle down to a new album recommendation. This week’s recommendation comes from indie rock duo Beach House. Their 3rd LP, Teen Dream, just released this week to wide acclaim and fandom.

Teen Dream is full of all sorts of beautiful gems ready made to get stuck in your ears. The guitars are spacious and warm and the synths cut right through the mix. Lyrically, Teen Dream isn’t exactly the happiest record of the year, dealing with doubt and uncertainty. The pop hooks bury the emotion, creating a conflicting state of dreamy pop and heavy lyrical themes.

Take a good listen to this record. It didn’t grab me immediately, but I’ve quickly fallen in love with it. Start to finish.
