Had Devotion and Teen Dream for months and they both bored the **** out of me. I'm in the process of compiling a list of my favourite songs of this century for this site and forced myself to re-listen to Devotion last night. ****ing blew my mind. Playing it whilst lying in a dark room certainly helped. Beautiful from beginning to end.
I excitedly put on Teen Dream straight after and was really disappointed to be honest. The addition of a live drummer really doesn't work for me and the songs themselves are weaker. Maybe I overdone the Beach House intake for one night. Regardless, Victoria Legrand really is one of the greatest singers alive.
