Jan 28, 2013Beach House still aren't mainstream-suitable but they partly improved what bugged me in their previous records.

Teen Dream sheds the uncertainties evident in past Beach House albums--each melodic turn (and there are many) balances the force of confidence with the momentum of curiosity.
