Beach House Bloom [Digipak]

"The album's hazy melodies suck you into their fog and wash over you in waves....This is atmospheric music at its best..." -- Grade: A-
"[A]n album that feels very much like the score for an imaginary film -- an avant-garde French film, to be precise, an extended nocturne encompassing romance and its aftermath..."
"[T]he songs on BLOOM fill a room like smoke....The hook-heavy chorus on 'Other People' is as immediate as anything Beach House has written, while the epic scope on closer 'Irene' ventures into more dynamic terrain."
4 stars out of 5 -- "Victoria Legrand's potent voice, with its nocturnal, richly melancholic, jazzy tone, gives these songs an intense emotional power only reinforced by the oblique poetry of her lovelorn lyrics."
4 stars out of 5 -- "BLOOM sees them nestling even further into their niche, adding a touch of gilt here, a filigree flourish there, but keeping close to their muzzily bohemian comfort zone."
Paste (magazine) - "The hooks on BLOOM are much more restrained, patient; the depths of the record immensely golden and layered."
