Fifty-word review

Teen Dream

Borrow It

Teen Dream’s organ backlights stolid, languid vocals shifting in and out of phase, illuminating long, wispy trails left suspended in the air. The album rarely surges ahead or falls behind. Rather, Beach House score the slow slackening of one’s grip on the day that accompanies the gentle slide into evening.
