Mistletone, triple j and Street Press Australia present Beach House, returning to Australia in the wake of their majestic fourth album Bloom. Beach House bring their epic live show to the art deco surrounds of The Tivoli Theatre on Friday, January 11. Tickets on sale now from The Tivoli website or Ticketek, phone 132 849.

Beach House’s Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally have personally chosen Melbourne’s Wintercoats, a/k/a one man chamber pop orchestra James Wallace, as sole support for their theatre shows. Having just returned from an extensive UK/European tour, playing Torstrassen Festival (Berlin) & Laboratorium festival (Heidelberg, Germany) showcasing for Cascine + The 405 in London, and with a debut album in the works, Wintercoats is a sublime match for Beach House’s stately and epic live show.

Already starring in many “best albums of 2012″ lists, Bloom is the fourth album by Beach House, a/k/a Baltimore duo Alex Scally and Victoria Legrand.  A sublime experience matched only by the intensity of Beach House’s stunning live show, Bloom offers a singular, unified vision of the world.  The album transcends the banality of simple emotions to arrive at a realm of honesty and complexity, and soberly reveals how frightening and temporary, yet beautiful, our existence is.

The devotion of Beach House’s growing community of listeners has deepened with each album (Beach House: 2006, Devotion: 2008 and Teen Dream: 2010, all released locally on Mistletone Records). The heady atmosphere of Beach House’s performance, coupled with the power of Victoria Legrand’s incredible voice, make every Beach House concert a swoon-inducing shared space, laden with romance and heightened emotions.

“When I stop finding things to be fascinating and beautiful, that’s when I’ll stop” – Victoria Legrand
