"Here, we continue to let ourselves evolve while fully ignoring the commercial context in which we exist."
Beach House are back with a new album, Depression Cherry, out August 28 via Sub Pop in North America, Bella Union in Europe, and Mistletone in Australia/New Zealand. The follow-up to 2012's Bloom was recorded and produced by Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally with Chris Coady at Bogalusa, Louisiana's Studio in the Country.
The band has also announced a world tour.
Yes, the sleeve for the LP and CD are made of actual red velvet. Depression Cherry is available on limited edition "Loser Edition" clear vinyl from the Sub Pop site.
In a press release, Legrand and Scally 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.
Describing the album title, they said, "For us, Depression Cherry is a color, a place, a feeling, an energy… that describes the place you arrive as you move through the endlessly varied trips of existence…"

Never have been more ready for an album like this. It’s going to be phenomenal.
My favorite band, can’t wait to stroke that red velvet sleeve!

I guess there will be an official release any minute now.
Love the new song, really can’t wait for the album to come out.
Allready bought tickets for there performance in Amsterdam on November 2nd.
I just listened to it. It’s great!
missing last track so it hasnt really leaked yet…
Full leak available now :)
Lovin’ it.
Tenemos un Papá Pirata (Facebook Group) ONLY has the 9th song, the rest is no longer there…
We’re here to report leaks, not provide the leak. I can confirm that the full album has indeed leaked, but it is a transcode.
Torrent downloads available at the usual places for that…. great album, they did it again
Allready leaked? Wow that’s really quick!
Weak album! How disappointing. Every song sounds the same, and that’s not a good thing. I was hoping there would be a song like “Other People” on this new LP, but nothing comes close to it. Oh well, at least that new Tame Impala is fire! 3/10 – Depressing Cherry
I think the only thing I agree with you is that the new Tame Impala is great; however, this album is such a clear reflection of the meta sound for Beach House I don’t see why you’re giving it a 3/10. Etherial vocals and high dreamy guitar that blend together to sound surreal, soft and still somehow vibrant are what they’ve . Depression Cherry is no deviation from that formula. Sparks is unlike any other track on the album. Albeit the guitar is a little coarser than normal, it still is very much Beach House. The band members already said it wouldn’t be like Bloom in light of Bloom’s louder composition and also mentioned that Depression Cherry would be a much simpler sound. So I don’t really see why you’re putting this up to the chopping block because it doesn’t have a track similar to “Other People.” I think that’s an unfair standard to judge it to.
Depression Cherry is well worth an 8/10.
*always done.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, dude, and in MY opinion..this album was mediocre. Okay, not a 3/10, but it’s not an 8/10. It doesn’t have any songs like Other People, meaning I didn’t think it had any repeatable, memorable tracks. If you guys like it, then good for you :} I was disappointed, though.! I thought there would be at least one song I’d like on it, but I got nada! Zip! I guess you have to be a big fan of this band to like this album, and I’m not a big fan of theirs, I just like a couple of their songs. But! I know good music when I hear it and I didn’t hear much of that on this record! She has a beautiful voice, but the production and the songs are boring and I would only listen to them again if I needed help trying to sleep :P 6/10 and that’s me being generous!
How great are Victoria’s vocals on this one, top notch!
I’m not a huge fan of Beach House but I totally love Depression Cherry. Victoria’s vocals, distorted guitar, keyboard, drums, they all blend perfectly for a dreamy experience, in my opinion. They even added a physical experience with the red velvet cover. I cannot wait to find out how the vinyl will be packaged!
Space Song! <3
