Beach House – 7

Black Vinyl Edition

Cry those tears of joy, because Beach House will release 7, the group's 7th full-length record, on May 11th, 2018. 7 features standouts including the single "Lemon Glow", along with "Black Car," "Drunk In LA," "Dark Spring," and today, their latest offering, the transcendent "Dive". All of the songs on 7 began in Beach House's home studio in Baltimore, and were finished at Carriage House in Stamford, CT and Palmetto Studio in Los Angeles. The album was mixed by Alan Moulder. Unlike the last four albums, 7 didn't have a producer in the traditional sense. Spacemen 3's Sonic Boom (Peter Kember) became a significant force on this record by shedding conventions and helping to keep the songs alive, fresh, and protected from the destructive elements of recording studio overproduction and over-perfection. The band's trusted live drummer from 2016 to the present, James Barone, played on the entire record, helping to keep rhythm at the center of a lot of these songs.
