Beach House Teen Dream (+DVD)

3.5 stars out of 5 -- "They're more radiant than ever on their third disc, particularly on songs like 'Zebra,' with background chorales swooping over stately guitar plucking."
"[Their] dense-fog organs, reverb-y slide guitars, and nodding harmonies feel as lush as a midnight walk in a wet garden."
"[T]hey evolve at last, adding more variety behind Victoria Legrand's wonderfully weary vocals." -- Grade: A-
"Their third album magnifies itself through a kaleidoscope of piano melodies and layered vocals, all reflective pop symmetry and shimmering atmosphere..."
"It's a winsome, convoluted reverie that seems to relish childhood innocence and imagination..."
Billboard (p.33) - "[D]ream-pop duo Beach House continues to master its craft of producing ethereal melodies and reverberating background instrumentation on its third album..."
Paste (magazine) (p.59) - "[The album] creates and sustains a hi-fi drowse-pop drama throughout its 10 beguiling songs....A logical and gorgeous extension of all the band's previous dreams."
Paste (magazine) - "'Take Care' endures as Beach House's rapturous insignia of maturity and, 12 years later, TEEN DREAM still sounds like bubblegum on a shooting star, like five extra minutes with a dying loved one, like a gentle, yet relentless waltz."
Pitchfork (Website) - "It feels like the product of careful, thoughtful growth, bringing in new influences -- bits of mid-1970s Fleetwood Mac, sparkling indie pop, even a few soul and gospel touches -- while maintaining the group's core sound."
