Seismic Preview: Beach House at Moore Theatre May 8th-9th, 2019
Last time we saw Beach House (Sub Pop Records), they played on the beautiful shores of Alki Beach in West Seattle for Sub Pop’s anniversary show SPF30 last August…. A perfect backdrop, for a stunning set (want to relive the setlist? Listen here)
They’ve been touring relentlessly since April of 2018, about a month before latest album 7 dropped.
I’ve been fortunate enough to see Beach House a couple of times, and not once have I NOT sunk into a Beach House trance. Beautiful lights, beautiful set list, and transcendent sounds. I feel at times I’m floating above the crowd, like a cartoon character being picked up by the power of a beautiful smell( show tip: a good hybrid recommended ).
Holy sounds of this incredible duo will sometimes play stand in for what I would think church should be like in a big 700 year old cathedral.
Sometimes Victoria Legrand’s voice melts into the wedding chapel drones that she presses out of her keyboard, while guitarist Alex Scally uses a slide to make his brightest melodies go slack. Drummer James Barone’s playing is typically as crispy as a Washington Fuji Apple.
But guess what? It’s all going to happen again. Not 1 night, but 2 nights at The Moore Theater May 8th and 9th. If you have a brain in your head your going to grab your tickets asap, before they sell out!
And while you do that, make sure you watch one of my favorite tracks below.
