I Wanted a Hit!

James I do adore... Mr. Murphy has brought us yet another SPECTACULAR album, supposedly the last to be graced under the LCD Soundsytem name. At first I wasn't too jazzed with the "Drunk Girls" track thinking he lost his magic, but I was truly wrong. This will definitely be in my top 5 of the year as it leaves me in absolute bliss and ups my happy-go-lucky meter by a whopping 16%! Build ups have never sounded so good and the flow of the album in its entirety is just ridiculous(that of the amazing). Gotta find a way to go buy tickets for the Fox Theater before they sell out, cause Ticket Master is trying to rape people of a $17 markup per ticket! So atrocious... This is music that must be heard live!

More, You Want More

There's something beyond dreamy about the new Beach House album that only the imagination can explain. It's amazing how they manage to take you, the listener into a "Teen Dream" with magical organ-like textures, simple drum machines, daunting vocals, and a Mazzy Starish state. Listening to "Walk in the Park" I can just picture myself wondering around the old carousel in Griffith Park with my first boyfriend, and having the world around me seem so new. As we go round and round on horses, we fall more and more in love with one another all at the youthful age of 18. Beach House is really just a gorgeous sounding band to swoon to, drive to, and live to. This album is definitely going to be in my top 10. Here's two tracks for you.
