New Moon

It's definitely the year of the universal recognition for the duo from Baltimore, the beautiful singer Victoria Legrand and multi-instrumentalist Alex Scally. The third and best album, the first Sub Pop and participation in the soundtrack of teenage blockbuster New Moon piece Slow Life , this together with the Grizzly Bear familiar from last year, when Victoria gave voice to the second song Veckatimest , the Two Weeks .

Church

The Beach House after they have recorded Teen Dream in something like former church, not completely abandoned the leisurely, low profile lo-fi style of the first two discs, simply it is obvious that they matured enough and reached the point to write a complete uncut album, more refined, more elaborate, much more rhythmic and full of great melodies. The hypnotic guitar  of Scally certainly creates a great atmosphere throughout the album, but the real star Victoria is the raucous and shrill voice. Sing of loneliness, loyalty and love, of course, creates celestial melodies with ease, where the music travels to other places.


Black And White Horse

The inventive Zebra with wonderful keys that opens the album is my favorite song, the moment where the drums come in around two and a half minutes is creepy, but not outdone are: Used To Be , made from the finest materials, a fabulous pianist and a captivating melody, 10 Mile Stereo the darkest of all, almost depressing with an awesome drum crescendo at the end of the first single Norway with the beautiful introduction masterpiece and Walk In The Park that reminds me a bit Pixies.

Uncut

It could be this year's Veckatimest , and here the vocals play a dominant role, it holds the first place, but I think somewhat less technical expertise and production. What is important is that the Beach House created a stunning pop record, without even trying.
