The “essential Beach House sound” penetrates the entire album. “Majorette” starts with a lone drum beat that expands into the arpeggiated guitar playing, the orchestral chords and Legrand’s dulcet voice that make up the Beach House ethos. Thank Your Lucky Stars opens with a track which feels like a quintessential Beach House song that could fit in perfectly with previous releases Teen Dream or Bloom. Each melody, the sounds of the backing drums, the subtle fuzzed out guitar riffs that hide in the background of many of the tracks, each line sung has been perfected. You can hear the careful thought that went into writing each song. Like so much of their previous work, each track feels intensely labored over. We can all be thankful that wasn’t true and Beach House are back doing what they do best: crafting extremely emotive songs built around lilting keyboard hooks that impress with their seeming simplicity and Legrand’s cloudy vocals underpinned by Alex Scally’s impeccable, purposeful guitar licks. Legrand also seemed to feel almost completely drained creatively, stating in an interview, “I didn’t feel creative at all…I just thought well, maybe I’ll never have another musical thought.” After the release of Bloom in 2012, they took a short break, mostly due to the fact that they were unhappy with their sound touring with a live drummer. It is important, as the band has pointed out, not to view Thank Your Lucky Stars as a “companion to Depression Cherry, or a surprise, or b-sides.” Although it was recorded in the same sessions as Depression Cherry, the album has a wholly different feel and certainly stands apart from their previous release.īeach House, particularly the French born singer/keyboardist Victoria Legrand, have always taken great care to protect their vision and the integrity of the band in general. With amazingly short notice, the album comes only a few months after their fifth studio album, Depression Cherry.
