It’s been a stellar year for Beach House. Much to the delight of fans, the band dropped their first new music since 2012 by way of velvety long-player Depression Cherry, promptly followed by – to everyone’s surprise – an entirely new record, Thank Your Lucky Stars.

Both of these hugely acclaimed records are now available on vinyl, CD and digital formats on Mistletone Records via Inertia Music and there are small quantities of Loser edition vinyl for Thank Your Lucky Stars still available on Mistletone’s mail order.

Baltimore’s Beach House will bring their swoonsome live show to Melbourne for an intimate Laneway Festival sideshow at 170 Russell on Wednesday, February 10 with special guests to be announced. This show has now sold out & an extra show has been added at the same venue, 170 Russell, on Thursday February 11. Tickets on sale now.

In the space of just two months, Beach House have released not one, but two stellar albums; the hugely acclaimed Depression Cherry, plus a special new album, Thank Your Lucky Stars, which was released just last week — to everyone’s surprise — and is now available on vinyl, CD and digital formats on Mistletone Records via Inertia Music.

As the band explained in a statement last week regarding Thank Your Lucky Stars, their sixth full length album: “It was written after Depression Cherry from July 2014 – November 2014 and recorded during the same session as Depression Cherry. The songs came together very quickly and were driven by the lyrics and the narrative. In this way, the record feels very new for us, and a great departure from our last few records. Thematically, this record often feels political. It’s hard to put it into words, but something about the record made us want to release it without the normal “campaign.” We wanted it to simply enter the world and exist.”

Beach House debuted “One Thing”, a track from Thank Your Lucky Stars, on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert last week, prompting Stereogum to remark “With squalling electric guitar, they sound more like an honest-to-god rock band than they have in years”; click here to watch.

Pitchfork yesterday conferred Best New Track status on “Elegy To The Void” from Thank Your Lucky Stars, noting: “Beach House have always been an out-of-time band, but “Elegy to the Void” places them in a great tradition. People have been making art about The Void forever… (and) what Beach House fan hasn’t sought refuge in their catalog during a personal crisis?  “Elegy to the Void” turns from an ode-to-emptiness into a crucial instructive: thank your lucky stars for everything.”
