![]() ![]() Bright pulses of synthesizer give “All Your Yeahs” a vaguely new wave feel. “She’s So Lovely” is particularly beguiling, a swaying gothic slow dance of funereal grace. Legrand’s vocal is crystalline loveliness, always flowing with the music rather than cutting against. “Majorette” begins the album with a few rattles of the drum kit, followed by a swollen wave of velvety keyboard and guitar. ![]() Reverbed guitars, lushly layered keyboards, Victoria Legrand’s voice rising from the murk like a wounded spirit… Thank Your Lucky Stars is hypnotic head trip music of the highest caliber. Beach House once again has us drifting slowly in musical space. But any stylistic differences are ephemeral which, of course, is not at all a bad thing. The songs on Depression Cherry are more mannered and precise, not quite as raw. That said, it’s more haunted and spectral, as if Depression Cherry is afternoon fading into dusk and Thank Your Lucky Stars is much later the same weary night. Thank Your Lucky Stars is certainly well in tune with the rest of their catalog. Beach House have always been more about mood and feeling than sharp melodies, a fusion of Mazzy Star and My Bloody Valentine slow-diving under a valium haze. There are indeed differences between Thank Your Lucky Stars and its very recent predecessor, albeit minor ones. The band states only that “it was recorded at the same time as Depression Cherry, but for us, it’s very much a different record.” Thank Your Lucky Stars is evidently not meant to be considered a companion album. After all, with major artists like Radiohead and Beyoncé dropping new albums with barely a word of warning, a month and a half is practically an eternity. It’s yet another thread pulled in the slow unravelling of the music industry’s outdated model of months of lavish and expensive buildup. With fans still absorbing the album’s swirling beauty, the duo made the surprise announcement via social media that an entirely new studio album - the aptly titled Thank Your Lucky Stars - would be available in mid-October.
