This Momentary Bliss

Beach House “Myth”

“Myth” sounds so much like what you’d expect to hear from Beach House that my first impression was “Did they just forget to put this on Teen Dream?” But then, if you’re going to be in a creative holding pattern, you may as well have it at your peak. Everything appealing about Teen Dream‘s best cuts is replicated here, but the song seems to be in slightly sharper focus – their hazy aesthetic has cleared just a bit, and it’s just a little more dynamic. The melodies have the same languid, luxurious tone, but the arrangement is less static – I’d go so far to say that this chorus pops out at you.
