Beach House are a Baltimore duo that play organ and reverb heavy songs that are a safe substitute for tranquilizers. Alex Scally (guitar) and Victoria Legrand (organs/vocals) write layered, down-tempo songs full of all sorts of those subtle electronic pulses that can slowly entrance and seduce the listener into taking a chilled-out trip.

Aggressive music this isn't. This isn't a rock-out, it's a space out. Beach House makes the kind of music meant for reminiscing, lava lamp gazing, and sleeping-bag star watching. Their gentle swirls will appeal to the easy-going fans of Cass McCombs, Spiritualized and Nico.

Beach House plays Mercury Lounge, Monday, March 5th (WIN TICKETS), and with Grizzly Bear at Bowery Ballroom on Tuesday, March 6th, and Wednesday, March 7th.
