In a four-star review of Beach House’s ‘Once Twice Melody’, NME‘s El Hunt wrote: “Even in its more intimate moments, there’s a certain theatricality to ‘Once Twice Melody’, which is home to some of Beach House’s most surreal lyrics. ‘How sweet the sound, the swell of strings begins to rise,‘ Legrand lays out on ‘Pink Funeral’, carefully setting the scene like a script note in a ballet.

“’The stage is set, the painted stars, they fill our eyes.‘It’s a neat description of Beach House: even when they’re building vast unfurling worlds, their music has a kind of closeness, as if it’s unfolding right in front of you.”

Meanwhile, it was reported in February that Kanye West is in the studio with Beach House.
