Beach House – Myth (+ new track from s / s / s)

Today I official retract any complimentary things I had to say about Sydney weather over the weekend, for today is a wet hell. My only watertight pair of shoes proved far from watertight under the onslaught that was the morning’s gushing skies. Luckily I had a spare pair of boardshorts in my car with which to dry my head and am now ready for the day ahead. Yesterday (or maybe even the day before) Beach House dropped the first single from their fourth studio album, set for release later this year and it’s ticking all the right boxes. The iconic voice of Victoria Legrand is the key to the sonic wash, underlayed with the paradox that is Alex Scalley’s simultaneously twinkling yet downcast guitar line. The trilling guitar toward the end of the track reminds me a whole lot of Vampire Weekend’s Walcott (around the 2:00 minute region) but it’s obviously not unique to either song. Also, it’s downloadable here. Anyway, make up your own mind, but I’m feeling this.

Something extra for the greedy, here’s another first taste, this time from s / s / s, which is the collaborative project of Sufjan, Son Lux and Serengeti. As usual, Sufjan is unusual.
