2015 studio album by Beach House
Depression Cherry is the fifth studio album by the American dream pop duo Beach House . It was co-produced by the group and Chris Coady , and was released on August 28, 2015, by Sub Pop in the US, Bella Union in Europe, Mistletone Records in Australia, Hostess Entertainment in Japan and Arts & Crafts in Mexico. The album was recorded at Studio in the Country in Bogalusa, Louisiana , from November 2014 to January 2015. Reacting to their dissatisfaction with using live drums on tour to play songs from their previous album, Bloom (2012), for Depression Cherry , the band returned to simpler song arrangements , similar to those of its first two studio albums. "Sparks " was released as the lead single on July 1. The album received mostly positive reviews from critics. Less than two months after releasing Depression Cherry , Beach House followed it up with their sixth album, Thank Your Lucky Stars .
Background and recording
[ edit ]
After Beach House completed touring for their previous record Bloom (2012), the group took a six-month break.[1] Uncertain about their future, singer/keyboardist Victoria Legrand said, "I didn't feel creative at all... I just thought well, maybe I'll never have another musical idea."[2] She added, "I just personally felt I needed a couple of months of just not doing anything, I didn't have thoughts."[1] Legrand found herself frustrated and limited creatively by the presence of a live drum set on tour to play Bloom ' s songs because of "the noise it creates and how much space it fills".[1] Guitarist Alex Scally concurred, saying, "There was a transparent feeling, [the songs] didn't feel as nuanced."[1]
Though some of Depression Cherry ' s musical ideas originated in 2012, Beach House wrote the majority of the record between the autumn of 2013 and 2014; "10:37" was one of the first songs to be written during this period.[3] The album was recorded at Studio in the Country in Bogalusa, Louisiana over two months,[4] [5] from November 2014 to January 2015.[6] It was co-produced by Chris Coady , who worked on the band's previous two records, Teen Dream (2010) and Bloom .[7] Prior to joining the band in the studio, they sent him phone recordings of some of their in-progress songs.[3] For the song "Days of Candy", they hired eight singers from Pearl River Community College to create a 24-part choir.[4] After completing that song and "Levitation", the band knew they had the album's closing and opening tracks, respectively, and considered the record completed.[3] The album was mixed at Sunset Sound in Hollywood , California , except "Beyond Love", which was mixed at Sonic Ranch in Tornillo, Texas .[8]
[ edit ]
On May 26, 2015, Beach House announced Depression Cherry along with tour dates supporting the album.[6] [9] According to the band, the album is a return to the simpler style of dream pop from their first two albums. In a press release on the Sub Pop website, the group said:
"In general, this record shows a return to simplicity, with songs structured around a melody and a few instruments, with live drums playing a far lesser role. With the growing success of Teen Dream and Bloom , the larger stages and bigger rooms naturally drove us towards a louder, more aggressive place; a place farther from our natural tendencies. Here, we continue to let ourselves evolve while fully ignoring the commercial context in which we exist."[10]
Vinyl and compact disc copies of the album feature a cover lined with red velvet . A limited edition "Loser Edition" of the album was released on clear vinyl record.[11]
On July 1, 2015, Beach House released the album's lead single, "Sparks ".[12] On August 6 of the same year, "PPP " and "Beyond Love" were released as the album's second and third singles.[13] All three singles were also published through the band's website and could be accessed through the "Single Finder" feature;[14] the feature allows one to choose three of their favorite songs from the band's past catalog and depending on their choices, it determines which single would likely be their favorite.[15] On August 19, nine days before the release of Depression Cherry , NPR Music made a stream of the album available online.[16]
[ edit ]
Depression Cherry debuted at number eight on the Billboard 200 , with 27,000 copies sold in its first week.[17]
Reception
[ edit ]
Depression Cherry received mostly positive reviews from contemporary music critics. At Metacritic , which assigns a weighted mean rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 76, based on 34 reviews, which indicates "generally favorable reviews".[19]
