Gig Review: Beach House

despite fighting yet another bout of tonsillitus i made it out to the Beach House gig with my face wrapped in a big woolly scarf, and boy did it pay off...
my second time to Bush Hall and jeez i love that place, the perfect size and good acoustics...i've no idea why but it always makes me feel like i'm seeing a band in some small old music hall in San Francisco...i always go with the dream..

there's really not too much else to say other than...incredible. Victoria's voice is just...incredible. She sings even the most impressive of notes with such ease, ranging effortlessly from soft melodic intros to deep sultry lyrics, her hair draping over the microphone as she impresses with her long-stemmed organ playing...
...aside from Take Care (my favourite song from Teen Dream) which played last before the encore, best song of night for me had to be Silver Soul...followed closely, of course, by a somewhat fierce version of Norway...


..i'm definitely going to try and make the Grizzly Bear show in March where they'll support...i can never see a band just once..

..so now today i'm drinking hot lemon with Beach House...don't you just love listening to an album again after seeing the show?...all those memories now attached...

Silver Soul - Beach House
