I'll be at the St. Louis date. Dream popping and locking
I saw them a few nights ago and they were excellent. The new songs sound great live.
they were good last night, but it became clear to me that Bloom is no Teen Dream. Aside from a few songs (Myth, Wishes, Irene), the new material kind of bored me a bit... perhaps my expectations were set a little too high.

Saw their first show of the tour the friday before last in Charlottesville. They played really well and sounded great but their set was too heavily concentrated on an album that hasnt come out yet.
I'm having a bit of trouble with this album, too. So much of it is, you know, nice. A lot of these songs feel like Teen Dream b-sides.
whilst maybe bloom doesnt progress in the way beach house have in the past its a really beautiful dreamscape of an album with 4 or 5 real standout tracks, and i really hope that theyre on the coachella 13 lineup, headlining the 2nd stage when the obligatory rap artist cloases out sunday

You guys heard about this VW crap? Apparently VW's ad agency repeatedly approached Beach House about using "Take Care" from Teen Dream in a VW ad. Beach House declined. So what did the agency do? They hired a fake Beach House band to make their own version of the song. Yikes.
I keep revisiting the new album, and everytime I do I find myself more disappointed by it.

Oh, it's all perfectly lovely. It's just that - with the exception of a couple of tracks - it doesn't really have the pull of the last album.
Now listening to Bloom for the first time and I already gravitate towards this album more than Teen Dream
I'ma ball at the mall shuttin' down the sea wall
Bloom is the first Beach House album I listened to and I vastly prefer it to Teen Dream or their other material.
