-------------------------------
You can’t have a conversation about dream pop without mentioning Beach House. In the decade and a half since their debut, the band out of Baltimore have dominated discussions around the genre and have basically become synonymous with the term. You can even see their influence visualised by Google, in which the phrase "dream pop" receives spikes in popularity whenever Beach House release an album. There has been no dream pop act this side of the millenium who have made an impact quite like Beach House, so much so that they have come to re-define the very genre itself. Let’s take a closer look and discover How Beach House Changed Dream Pop.

    beach house’s music has this special touch of familiar loneliness. An unexplainable sadness. The kind that lingers but never harms. That has been my biggest comfort ever.

    Beach House is the perfect band for introspection and the purifying of soul through song. The cozy intertwining of dark organs and shimmering guitars, the incomparable expressive force of Victoria's vocals, the wistful and melancholic melodic lines, the adventurous use of harmony and counterpoint, the lush and heavy production, the slow funereal pulse of the drum machines and those lyrics evocative of the profoundest affection and heartbreak; and yet the entire experience is much more than a sum of all the parts. This musical pairing was truly a blessing for us all.

    Listening to PPP is like a religious experience. The whole song seems like its slowly reaching out to your soul and grabbing it. By the end of the 6-minute song you eventually feel your soul leave your body and move to a higher state of being. You could say that for so many of of their songs tbh. Their consistency is unreal.

    The idea that you are only interesting if you make radical change in your music/art is overrated. Any musician, visual artist, writer, film maker knows how hard it is to create something of value. If a radical change in your work comes from a genuine inspiration then that's great. But changing for the sake of change alone can be shallow. Good art/music is often the artist digging deeper into the thing that is their muse or core interest.

    Beach House has continuously evolved, while remaining true to themselves, that's their main quality. They make small adjustments each time, yet their sound and songs are all very distinct of one another. I discovered them early on, and it was unlike anything I had heard before. The mix of hopefullness and melancholy, a bittersweet sensation, perfect for a cozy autumn afternoon, or late at night. I will always have a special thing for their debut and Devotion, and I secretly hope they make something reminiscent of their early days one more time, but I'm equally excited for the soundscapes they created for Marin's Dream. They are simply the gift that keeps on giving.

    The name Beach House reminds me of the Ocean, which reminds me of how Ween wrote a bunch of songs while visiting the Jersey Shore back in the mid 90s, which ultimately became their album The Mollusk. The album is one of their best and helped inspire Sponge Bob Square Pants. Would make a great subject for a video.

    I wish they had mentioned the prolific Cocteau Twins by name (they played a song sample from them). The Cocteau Twins were quite original in they way that they made electric guitar sound like synthesizers. Also, the singer-chick would make up her own sort of words and language for the songs, instead of singing actual lyrics. The result was mystifying. And her operatic soprano voice was utterly heavenly. The Cocteau Twins are arguably an equal to Beach House in the sense of 1) writing prolifically, 2) writing challenging, mature compositions and 3) achieving an other-worldly, even Spiritual effect to their sound. Look at the KZread comments to their songs. You will find almost NO negativity, and instead a great outpouring of emotion, tears, tenderness, hurt, care and love. Same for Beach House!
