Depression Cherry

STAFF PICK: "Beautiful, ethereal, wistful, nostalgic and comforting are just some of the words I would use to describe Depression Cherry. This album can always bring me to tears while simultaneously filling my heart. It is a true essential whether it be for background music or deep introspection." - Lucia

Beach House's Depression Cherry and follow-up to 2012's Bloom showed 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.
