A Baltimore duo emblematic of dream pop, Beach House appeared in 2017 at La Blogothèque’s Soirées de Poche for a filmed concert bathed in keyboard washes and hazy guitars. Victoria Legrand, with her deep, hypnotic voice, and Alex Scally, architect of the guitar textures, recreate in intimate form the cottony atmosphere that built the band’s reputation on albums like Teen Dream and Depression Cherry. Faithful to La Blogothèque’s soft, close-up aesthetic, the capture highlights the deliberate slowness of the melodies and the depth of the harmonies. This Paris live set shows how Beach House transposes onto the stage the sonic density of its studio productions, between soaring pop and psychedelic reverie. The quality of image and sound makes this performance an excellent entry point into the duo’s universe. A reference filmed live for lovers of dream pop and finely crafted captures, recorded in Paris in 2017 by La Blogothèque.
