Beach House released the first single from their forthcoming LP Bloom on their official website Tuesday night (March 6). The track, ironically titled “Myth”, seems to validate certain myths currently circulating around the web in regard to the new albums unconfirmed release date (May 15) and track listing- breathing life back into the band and their fans by way of a simple “hello again” tweet.
As for the track itself, it feels like the Baltimore duo has come full circle and really embraced their chemistry together. While it is reminiscent of Teen Dream ( which is something that I love) “Myth” feels almost like the more mature, back from college, version of songs like “Zebra” that spotlights the talents of both members of this dream-pop dream team. From the swirling guitars to the hazy, orchestral, tones and finally to the vocals intimacy- “Myth” shows the band coming back with new strength and swinging for the proverbial fences.
