Beach House: Devotion

Baltimore duo Beach House have come up with a second helping of dreamy songs for their sophomore album Devotion. Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally have created subtle soundscapes that require a set of really good speakers. This is the downtempo album that the White Stripes will never make.

Tracks:
  1. Wedding Bell
  2. You Came to Me
  3. Gila
  4. Turtle Island
  5. Holy Dances

  7. Heart of Chambers
  8. Some Things Last A Long Time
