.BeaccchHoussse's new album is out now. We spoke with the duo about everything that went into that and more
Over Zoom from their headquarters in Baltimore, Legrand and bandmate Alex Scally appear relaxed and eager for things to return to normal. They haven’t played in front of a live audience in nearly three years. Now, with Beach House’s eighth album,, on the way, the duo has a double album’s worth of new material to perform. Legrand says the two of them are “the most prepared we’ve been for a long time to go out and play live.
“We’ve always had faith in time,” Legrand says. “Whenever we’ve made a record we’ve never expected anything to come out of it. So we have this gratitude for time because records likefound lives years after they came out. A major label might have this urgency for a new artist to strike now, but time was always our friend. We’ve been lucky with how time has treated us. I’d like to think it’s a long-term relationship [between us and time].
“The process was not that different, it was just harder because we didn’t have that voice of reason or even a distraction when we needed it,” Scally explains. “At times it was like Sisyphus pushing the boulder up the mountain. Somehow the boulder got bigger and the mountain got taller each day. But it did allow us to go deeper into cool ideas that the presence of another person would have prevented from happening.
“We were really excited to release music as soon as we finished the record,” Scally says. “As lovers of the album format, we started thinking about the sides of the vinyl – A, B, C and D – and sculpting the flow of the record based on the sides. That led to these chapters, for which we tried to make clear beginnings and endings. As we experimented with different sequences we decided to make each side its own chapter.
