Lost Sock: Beach House

This Baltimore band seems to fit the fall season more than any other band I can think of right now. Their self-titled album is so easily compared to such bands as Mazzy Star yet for me remains a standout in the moody boy/girl duo genre. For 35 minutes, I am washed from head to toe in a soundscape of autumnal oranges and reds, memories float on melodies. The ultimate feeling of the album is nostalgic for a time I'm not sure I have ever known. Beach House manage to create such a distinct mood that I can't imagine listening to it any other time of the year. "Master of None" is my favorite track, both soulful and sparse.
