SOUND & COLOR: THE ALBUMS, 2015.


08/beach house/depression cherry

two songs into this expedition, Victoria and Alex join together to remind us of the power of seeing the light and giving in to the sparks that ignite within you. "make it, wave it, alive". and there's a place they'd like to take you. a lush dreamworld where we levitate above it all and float in the unknown, never straying too far from solid ground. where sparks ignite and wildflowers collide. and like the beach house long players before them, it's a place where the time and space is allotted for these songs to just breathe and reveal themselves, for depression cherry is a patient record. another dreamy and emotionally uplifting release awash in gorgeously ornate soundscapes and atmospherics.
a velvet shoegaze that looks up to the stars, enchanted, and incredibly alive.
