Beach House – 7 CD Cheap

Beach House released B-sides and Rarities in 2017, which served as a proverbial cleaning out the closet to pave way for a new creative process. Their approach in the creation of 7 was rebirth and rejuvenation. Victoria Legrand‎ and ‎Alex Scally used to limit themselves to what they thought they could perform live, but this time that limitation was ignored. Also, instead of one long studio session, Beach House recorded when inspired batches of songs, which resulted in 5 mini-sessions over the course of 11 months. Unlike the last four albums, 7 didn t have a producer in the traditional sense. Spacemen 3 s Sonic Boom (Peter Kember) became a significant force on this record by shedding conventions and helping to keep the songs alive, fresh, and protected from the destructive elements of recording studio overproduction and over-perfection. The band s trusted live drummer from 2016 to the present, James Barone, played on the entire record, helping to keep rhythm at the center of a lot of these songs.
