-
Beach
House's
sound
was
fully
formed
at
the
time
of
their
2006
debut.
They
had
slow,
shadowy
dream-pop
down;
at
times
they
recalled
Mazzy
Star
or
Galaxie
500,
but
songs
like
"Apple
Orchard"
and
"Master
of
None"
had
a
dark
and
blurry
resonance
all
their
own.
Artists
that
start
out
so
assured
and
distinctive
can
run
into
trouble
on
second,
third,
and
fourth
records.
Hardcore
fans
are
there
no
matter
what,
but
others
may
wonder:
Do
I
need
another
album
from
this
band?
When
I'm
in
the
mood
for
what
they
bring,
can't
I
just
put
on
what
I
already
have?
Teen
Dream,
Beach
House's
third
album
and
first
for
Sub
Pop,
obliterates
these
concerns.
This
is
both
the
most
diverse
and
most
listenable
of
their
three
full-lengths,
and
yet
it
never
seems
like
a
compromise.
It
feels
like
the
product
of
careful,
thoughtful
growth,
bringing
in
new
influences--
bits
of
mid-1970s
Fleetwood
Mac,
sparkling
indie
pop,
even
a
few
soul
and
gospel
touches---
while
maintaining
the
group's
core
sound.
Teen
Dream
is
a
stirring
reminder
that
good
things
can
happen
when
you
move
out
of
your
comfort
zone.
