The songs are gloomy, spacious, haunting. Victoria Legrand's dreamy vocals drift over sleepy soundscapes. If a comparison must be made, think Cat Power mixed with Mazzy Star? But they still have a style and mood all their own. What a fantastic discovery! (note: this review is reflective of their self-titled debut.. I've not heard much of their newer album, "Devotion", yet) http://www.beachhousemusic.net/Beach_House/Media.html Paul - -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "This is the time.
