Beach House - Depression Cherry - Page 7

PhilsFan · 03-20-2016, 08:22 AM

This would be my ideal setlist:

1. Levitation
2. Beyond Love
3. Wishes
4. PPP
5. All Your Yeahs
6. Master of None
7. The Traveller
8. Troublemaker
9. Gila
10. Walk in the Park
11. Wild
12. 10 Mile Stereo
13. One Thing
14. Elegy to the Void
15. Take Care

16. Myth
17. Irene

Tough to cut things like New Year, Space Song, Rough Song, Majorette, and Heart of Chambers, but that's as long as their sets seem to go.

Also, FYI: 10 Mile Stereo > One Thing is their Power Out > Rebellion.

New album is out today.

cobl04 · 05-11-2018, 09:44 AM

Is it worth listening to for someone who quite liked Teen Dream but has been entirely indifferent to everything else since because it all sounded exactly the same?

Sparks is the only exception I've heard to this rule. That song is fantastic.

david · 05-11-2018, 09:55 AM

It sounds different than their previous albums.

PhilsFan · 05-11-2018, 10:05 AM

Yeah, it's still them but it's a departure from their previous work. You can tell they've changed producers. Heavier sound.

iron yuppie · 05-11-2018, 10:09 AM

Pitchfork compared it to My Bloody Valentine, and I think that analogy is apt. It probably is their most sonically diverse album yet.

u2popmofo · 05-11-2018, 09:29 PM

It's definitely a different sound than they usually have, still extremely enjoyable though. Happy to have a new Beach House album to listen to through the rest of the year. If you disagree, I hope your cat gets Feline AIDS. If you don't have a cat, I hope a Furry gives you the human version...... or something.

Good thing I like it. A lot, actually.

I'm not sure what new album you would be listening to instead that would be a better use of your time.

I may have been under the influence of alcohol when this was written. I hope for nothing but the best for your cats and furry friends.

This is almost worse than your shit opinion about pizza.

cobl04 · 05-13-2018, 07:11 AM

Why the fuck would anyone ever get pizza when they can get fish and chips?

Axver · 05-13-2018, 07:18 AM

Because pizza is the food of the gods and fish and chips is what you get when you're stuck in a small town and there is no other good takeaway?

I mean, I like chip butties, but it's not exactly exceptional food.

Axver · 05-13-2018, 07:20 AM

BACK ON TOPIC, let me revise the last sentence of my last post:

I mean, I like 7, but it's not exactly an album with All Your Yeahs.

cobl04 · 05-13-2018, 07:30 AM

shut the fuck up.

LemonMelon · 05-13-2018, 07:42 AM

7 is the only Beach House album I've heard that I felt was more than the sum of its parts. The sequencing is excellent and there's a lot of momentum when these songs are played in order.

That said, I think the parts themselves are a little less memorable than their best work. The best stretch of the album is L'Inconnue to Black Car with Dive being my personal highlight. The final third of the album is the weakest and I struggle to remember anything about those tracks, though none of them are bad by any means.

Isn't this just fries in a sandwich bun? I don't see how that could be appetizing.

Axver · 05-13-2018, 09:46 AM

I do see what you mean, Travis, about 7 being more than the sum of its parts. I'm still not sure whether to rate it 3.5 or 4/5 over on RYM. On the one hand everything fits very well as an album. On the other, I'm not racing back for anything in particular yet, like I did with the previous three albums.

Think I need a few more spins with it yet.

Yep. Bread, preferably buttered, with hot chips (regular salt or chicken salt, your call). I usually add sauce - tomato or barbecue or HP, I'm not too fussy.

Fucking delicious. One of the ultimate "let's go have a picnic at the beach and scoff junk" meals.

iron yuppie · 05-13-2018, 01:16 PM

That sounds like a full day's worth of calories.

cobl04 · 05-17-2018, 11:24 PM

Man this band is just nothing more than nice inoffensive background music to me.

Loved Drunk in LA and Last Ride is really lovely but not much else stood out.
