Beach House‘s lush new album Bloom is out now, and has been garnering exquisite praise here in Oz and the world over.

- “Bloom lives up to all expectations, coming in grand waves of organ drone, guitar wash, muffled percussion and Legrand’s full-blooded voice” – THE AGE (4.5 stars)
- “This is a release that creeps under your skin and stays there; beautifully dense and seriously captivating” – triple j (Feature Album)
- ALBUM OF THE WEEK – FBi Radio, 2SER, RTR
- “Functioning as a novel rather than a collection of short stories, Bloom is the lovesongs-and-dedications template for those with 20/40 vision” – DAILY TELEGRAPH (4 stars)
- “Lullaby cadences, guitar mirages, low, stalwart organs and bass; melodic tensions and sweeping release, emotions amplified by the methodical pace at which they’re unfurled” – THE BRAG (Album of the Week – 4 stars)
- “The most delightfully satisfying expression of their music yet, and could well be dream pop’s new definitive gesture” – BEAT (Album of the Week – 4 stars)
- “Beach House have an indefinable something that makes their music rise above their humble set-up to transcendent heights”- THE BIG ISSUE – 4 stars

- “Bloom is inspiring, and what it delivers is stunning, musical genius” – MUSIC FEEDS
- “An intrepid slow burn of shimmering synths, guitars and melancholy vocals. Sounds like the musical incarnation of a Sofia Coppola film” – YEN MAGAZINE
- “Another step closer to perfection” – DRUM MEDIA (Album of the Week)
- “By just about every measure, Bloom‘s wingspan is fuller than anything Beach House have done before” – PITCHFORK (Best New Music, 9.1 score)
