It has been several years since we last heard anything from Baltimore dream-pop duo Beach House. 2010's Teen Dream was packed with beautiful hazy pop tracks and I was lucky enough to see them perform most of it live at Nottinghams Dot to Dot festival. After periodically checking out the bands website for the past 6 months, looking for even the smallest whiff of new material or possible tour dates, there was nothing. It was so depressing; one of the best bands of 2010 had seemingly disappeared off the face of the earth. All was not lost though, the band were scheduled to play End Of The Road festival in September, so I had a sneaking suspicion that they might have something up the sleeves of their brightly coloured anoraks. Today that suspicion is confirmed! The band have posted Myth on their website, and word on the street is their new album Bloom is being released on Sub Pop in late May. If that's not something to put in the diary, I don't know what is.
