The duo of Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally, Beach House is defined by the hypnotic interplay between Legrand's velvety voice and keyboards and Scally's rippling guitar. Over the years, the pair's style moved from the charmingly lo-fi sound of 2006's self-titled debut to the polished, majestic approach of 2012's Bloom. On their later albums, Beach House incorporated wider-ranging sounds and textures into their swooning, mysterious music, folding elements of psych and sleek electronics into 2018's 7 and imbuing 2022's Once Twice Melody (and its 2023 companion EP Become) with lavish strings and acoustic warmth.
With nearly every release, Beach House revealed new possibilities within dream pop.
