Track Review: Beach House "Gila"
Devotion, the sophomore album from haze-addicted Baltimore slowpokes Beach House, has all the same basic ingredients of the band’s celebrated 2006 debut. The drum machine still sputters; the organ still drones. But it seems that the band has spent the year turning the dial a few clicks to sharpen the soft focus. Singer Victoria Legrand doesn't sound ready to run laps on the "Gila" per se, but she definitely sounds a bit more alert here than in her previous naptime delivery. The song structure is the most improved element, though, with snaking guitar chimes, well-defined backing vocals, and a blinking synth beacon providing a way through the fog. A small hop forward maybe, but one that's likely to increase the duo's profile significantly.

nice backhanded compliment you twat. does it kill you people to say something nice?
dong jihad
I'll say something nice: I love this song and I love this band. Very beautiful. Makes me not miss Mazzy Star so much.
Dude, I give ridiculous compliments in my daily track reviews all the time, I think this is a step up from the last album, which is what I said here. I am a twat though, so you got me there.
