this is nice enough but why am i getting the urge to sing popcorn by hot butter over the top of it

Because 'Popcorn' is one of the greatest songs of all time and this is also good?

it's always nice to come across tracks like this during EOY season, i don't really keep up with this sort of thing but there's always a few gems like this to enjoy
― ufo, Wednesday, 30 January 2019 13:30 (five years ago) link
yeah that wasn't necessarily a knock! :D xxp

43: Beach House – “Lemon Glow” – 202 points – 7 votes – 1 first place votevideo
Beach House
a flash in the pan― Stephen Bush, Saturday, November 18, 2006
http://www.thesinglesjukebox.com/?p=25111
“Lemon Glow” has dripping, reverberating guitar and a portentous vocal. It’s high drama of the Siouxsie and the Banshees gothic rock mode, but, in the hands of Beach House, is less theatrical and more unsettling. A stubbornly recurring loop oozes underneath Victoria Legrand’s dissipating vocal. For all its intensity, the song is striking for its lack of affect and its willful refusal of clarity or definition. This is staring-at-the-wall-when-you-can’t-feel-anything music. The percussive finale is not a crescendo but a doubling-down. – Jonathan Bradley
Does the Dead Sara title fakeout: not lemon Pledge, like you’d expect, but more citrus incense: a thick haze, reverbed well past the uncanny valley and sickly-claustrophobic, like breathing the air inside a weighted duvet. It isn’t enjoyable, necessarily, but carries more genuine atmosphere than I thought Beach House, the epitome of background music, was capable of. - Katherine St Asaph

i loved this album but this track felt pretty weak/odd as a lead single and i only enjoyed it in context of the album, surprised to see it show up

This act has long since gazed itself to death.

So far most tracks strike me as adult and urbane.

They could use some deathgaze, come to think of it.

Peach: Bangs indeed, much more my kind of electronic than miss Hauf or Talabomachin. It's really about the first part and that sample for me though.

For a second I thought that was the same Stephen Bush that is now the Political Editor of the New Statesman and much cited on the UK politics threads but I think not. Stranger things have happened.

ha ha - Beach Trap House
I don't think I've heard anything that sounds quite like that tiny-xylophone-in-a-bottle refrain anywhere else.
It reminds me of Vitalic's 'Fanfares' a bit but, different agenda tho it may have, can't say it compares favourably with that myself.
― nashwan, Wednesday, 30 January 2019 13:39 (five years ago) link
I like this Beach House song but I tend to think of them as an albums act
― resident hack (Simon H.), Wednesday, 30 January 2019 13:41 (five years ago) link
Fanfares is all about the military snares and nothing without them deserves to be compared to it, favourably or otherwise, IMO.

cool tunethe sun is glittering off passing cars perfectly with this

I voted for this. Glad that other people also like it.

I didn't expect a track named after the Reykjavik airport to be italo disco. It's cool.

damn there was actualy some ILM discussion on lemon glow, but we had to go TSJ
― my tweet portal is whack (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 30 January 2019 13:56 (five years ago) link
I group this Kasper Marrott tune and 'Neutron Dance' together in my head but this one just sounds so much better on headphones or a big system. It's like a more euphoric update of 'Squance' by Plaid, or a signpost to a modern electrohouse that isn't awful.

Kinda think that's the Platonic title for an italo disco track in 2019

YT's algorithm suggests a TED talk titled 'Pop Music Is Stuck on Repeat' as a palate cleanser after this track.

guess it's finally time to figure out what the beths sound like
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Wednesday, 30 January 2019 14:06 (five years ago) link
i was thinking of this thread, but it looks like most of the discussion is general album stuff, not lemon glow specifically: Beach House - 7 (2018)
― my tweet portal is whack (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 30 January 2019 14:06 (five years ago) link
many xps
hmm this isn't the beths song i like

good drums

i gave the beths some album ballot love, and this is def one of the highlights, but i left it off my trax ballot

Another 'voted for the album' one for me but this is a highlight of the record (along with 'Not Running').

if I was gonna vote for a single track it'd have been "not running" xp!!
more jazz students should start power pop bands

xp to voodoo: i think when we do the albums poll (if moka wants to that is), there should be lots more room for ILX commentary. as a community, we like to discuss albums and artists, not singles so much unless it's in the genre threads.
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Wednesday, 30 January 2019 14:14 (five years ago) link
I voted for the Beths album but it occurs to me I don't know off the top of my head what a single one of their individual songs is called. It's probably the only straight-ahead indie rock record I needed this year and this clearly hasn't hampered my enjoyment of it at all.
No idea which song this is.
