{"product_id":"teen-dream","title":"Teen Dream","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere wasn't much room for \u003cstrong\u003eBeach House\u003c\/strong\u003e to improve on \u003cem\u003eDevotion\u003c\/em\u003e, so instead, the duo improved the room in which they made \u003cem\u003eTeen Dream\u003c\/em\u003e. Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally recorded their debut in a converted church with producer\/engineer Chris Coady, who has also worked with TV on the Radio and Blonde Redhead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe same dark lushness echoes through this album as those bands' works, with a spaciousness that's more like a beach mansion than a mere house. On \u003cem\u003eTeen Dream\u003c\/em\u003e, the hugeness previously implied in Legrand's lyrics and luscious vocals is made real, like tuning Beach House in at their full frequency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe duo's mix of retro electronics and chiming guitars is still as dreamlike and distinctive as ever -- if anything, the tinny taps and hisses of their drum machine are even more present in \u003cem\u003eTeen Dream\u003c\/em\u003e's pristine settings, making the contrast between them and the molten slide guitars and rippling keyboards on \"\u003cem\u003eNorway\u003c\/em\u003e\" even more vivid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe songwriting is also more focused, using \u003cem\u003eDevotion\u003c\/em\u003e songs such as \"\u003cem\u003eYou Came to Me\u003c\/em\u003e\" and \"\u003cem\u003eHeart of Chambers\u003c\/em\u003e\" as templates for the album's elegant longing. Like \u003cem\u003eTeen Dream\u003c\/em\u003e's title, these songs are wry and wise enough to know better about idealising love, and romantic enough to still believe in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThough it's not as eclectic and whimsical as their earlier work, \u003cem\u003eTeen Dream\u003c\/em\u003e is some of their most beautiful music, and reaffirms that they're among the best purveyors of languidly lovelorn songs since Mazzy Star.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bella Union","offers":[{"title":"2LP - Black","offer_id":50429802283339,"sku":"366583","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50429804151115,"sku":"321281","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Teen_Dream_c0c2753b_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726841550","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/teen-dream","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
