With such stunning tracks like "Space Song" and "PPP", Scally and Legrand once again demonstrate their mystical yet seemingly effortless ability to sweep listeners off their feet and into the clouds.… Expand

Rather, Beach House are celebrating intimacy on Depression Cherry, which is destined to be one of the year’s most misunderstood records based on a couple of critic’s reviews. The magical melodies and shoegazing influences cover Legrand’s ethereal voice like diamond dust, returning the duo to their roots of crafting stadium-size sounds out of thin air, which can be heard on “Sparks”, “Space Song”, and “Beyond Love” most beautifully. It’s a quite consistent sound that may make certain music listeners feel claustrophobic, but I’d rather call it a cozy, comfortable place sparkling in some remote forest that’s hard to find, but easy to love.… Expand

   "We're going back to where we started", said Victoria Legrand whilst being interviewed about Depression Cherry, Beach House's most recent LP."We're going back to where we started", said Victoria Legrand whilst being interviewed about Depression Cherry, Beach House's most recent LP. But no band can really go back to the beginning, given the fact that it has been active for quite a while –almost ten years in this case. This is specially true whilst listening to "Space Song" and personal favorite "PPP", which perfectly combine two of Beach House's most prominent characteristics, greatly polished over the course of the last two records: Legrand's utterly oneiric voice and Alex Scally's ability to produce glossy layers of sound. The downside is, however, that this winning treat doesn't hold on for too long as the band prefers the simplicity and minimalistic approach favored in their early days, which is not a synonym of 'bad', but in this case it is bland and barren ("Beyond Love", "Bluebird" and "10:37" in particular). Depression Cherry is not a misfortune, but it does not meet the high expectations; a record that was supposed to be a leap forward for the band, not a hold back, to say the least.… Expand
