NPR is now streaming Beach House’s gorgeous Teen Dream in its entirety. I’ve been saying this for a while on Twitter and now I’ll say it here: so far, Yeasayer’s Odd Blood (out Feb. 9th) and Beach House’s Teen Dream (out Jan. 26th) are leading the Album of the Year discussion in my book. I know it’s early, but need I remind you that a lot of us made up our minds about Merriweather Post Pavillion back in early January of ’09.
Also, Gorilla vs Bear premiered another video from the accompanying DVD found with Beach House’s new album. This time for “Walk In The Park”, a near-perfect highlight for the album. The sometimes grotesque and disturbing video was directed by Allen Cordell. Watch the video here.
Again, Teen Dream is out January 26th on Sub Pop. Pre-order the CD/2xLP at Insound.
