To be honest, all I really care about this week is the release of Clock Opera’s debut LP. With that said, there are still quite a few noteworthy new releases this week, including the latest from Yann Tiersen and Spiritualized. As always, be sure to visit Largehearted Boy, Amoeba Music, and KEXP for the rest of this week’s new releases.

[anticipation] Beach House//Bloom

April 17, 2012 Concrete Opinions Leave a comment

We Listen For You puts it best “Beach House is doing that thing where they only make amazing songs.”

After dropping the oh-so-good “Myth” last month, Beach House have followed it up with the release of “Lazuli” . Both tracks are super good (i still enjoy “Myth” a bit more) and I can’t wait for hear the rest of Bloom, which is Beach House’s upcoming LP Bloom is shaping up to be one 2012’s best.

“Lazuli” will be featured on a special Record Store Day release this Saturday (4.21.12). Bloom is due out May 15th via Sub Pop.
