Beach House are back and have announced a new double album, titled Once Twice Melody, that will be out February 18 via Sub Pop. The album was recorded in Minnesota (Pachyderm Studio), Los Angeles (United Studio) and Baltimore (Apple Orchard Studio), and was mixed by Alan Moulder, with additional mixing by Dave Fridmann, Caesar Edmunds, and Trevor Spencer. They also used a live string ensemble for the first time, with arrangements by David Campbell.
The album is getting a unique rollout, not unlike what Johnny Marr is doing, with its 18 tracks being released digitally in four monthly "chapters" with animated lyric videos for each song. The first of those happens tonight at midnight when we'll get four songs, including the album's title track.
Once Twice Melody will be available in a variety of formats and editions, including: a limited "GOLD" edition that comes in a gold-embossed, hinged box on gold and clear vinyl with a full-color booklet and 2 exclusive posters; a "SILVER" edition in a silver embossed black sleeve, on "classic" black vinyl with double-sided exclusive poster; and a double cassette set (one clear clear, one gold). You can preorder those in the BV shop and check out the artwork, packaging and tracklist below.
You can also get Beach House's Bloom, Teen Dream, Depression Cherry and more on vinyl and cassette in the BV Shop.
Beach House have also announced a 2022 tour that currently runs from February through July with dates in North America, the UK and Europe. The Los Angeles show happens April 9 at the Greek Theatre, and there are two Brooklyn shows at Kings Theatre on July 19 & 20. Tickets for all shows go on sale Friday, November 19, 2021 at 10 AM local.
