I know Zack posted about seeing Beach House in Boston about a month ago, and I don't want to beat a dead horse, but I just wanted to take a second to echo his thoughts. I had the pleasure of seeing them two nights ago at Webster Hall in New York City, and my mind was completely blown. The more I think about it, the more sure I am that it was the best concert that I've seen in quite some time.
The setting was perfect - Webster's large open hall made everything seem larger than life, a great match for Victoria Legrand's voice. The songs, from top to bottom, were stellar. They played mostly from Teen Dream, but touched on four songs from Devotion and another from Beach House. My favorite songs opened the set, closed the main set, and finished the encore. I came in with medium-sized expectations and they were completely surpassed in every way.
Beach House also played a new song - the first time they'd ever played it live - called "White Moon." It was stellar; check out the video below. I'm already excited for the follow-up to Teen Dream. Which, coincidentally, I'll be listening to all weekend.
