BEACH HOUSE

Beach House is an American dream pop band formed in Baltimore in 2004, composed of current members Victoria Legrand (vocals, keyboards) and Alex Scally (guitar, keyboard, backing vocals, drum programming), who first met in Baltimore's indie scene, and James Barone (drums, percussion, bass), who joined in 2022. The band first gained international recognition in 2006, after their song "Apple Orchard" was featured on Pitchfork's Infinite Mixtape series, subsequently releasing their self-titled debut album on October of that year, through Carpark Records. They released their second studio album Devotion in February 2008, which became their first album to debut on the US Billboard 200. In 2009, they were offered a contract signing to Sub Pop, which allowed them to promote their third studio album Teen Dream, which was released in January 2010 to critical acclaim and is often considered their breakthrough album. They followed this success by releasing their fourth studio album Bloom in May 2012, which was met with similar acclaim and commercially successful, peaking at number 7 on the Billboard 200.
