about

This compilation contains every song Beach House â€“ aka Alex Scally and Victoria Legrand â€“ has made that does not exist on one of their albums. The band explains:

When we announced that we were releasing a B-sides and rarities album, someone on Twitter asked, â€œB-sides record? Why would Beach House put out a B-sides record? Their A-sides are like B-sides.â€ This random person has a point. Our goal has never been to make music that is explicitly commercial. Over the years, as we have worked on our 6 LPs, it wasnâ€™t the â€œbest" or most catchy songs that made the records, just the ones that fit together to make a cohesive work. Accordingly, our B-sides are not songs that we didnâ€™t like as much, just ones that didnâ€™t have a place on the records we were making.

The oldest song is â€œRain in Numbersâ€ and was recorded in 2005, during the summer when we formed the band. We didnâ€™t have a piano, so we asked our friend if we could use his, which was pretty out of tune. We used the mic that was on the four-track machine to record the piano and vocals. It was originally the secret song on our self-titled debut.

The next couple of songs are from late 2008. We were so excited about â€œUsed to Beâ€ that we quickly recorded it and put it on a 7â€ for our fall tour with the Baltimore Round Robin. The same session begat our cover of Queenâ€™s â€œPlay the Gameâ€ for a charity compilation benefiting AIDS research; we will continue to donate all profits from the song to that charity. As fans of Queen, we thought it would be fun and ridiculous to try to adapt their high-powered pop song into our realm. These songs were recorded at the same studio where we made Devotion.

There are a bunch of songs written and recorded in the 2009-2010 window. â€œBabyâ€ was written and recorded in October 2009 with our friend Jason Quever. â€œ10 Mile Stereoâ€ was recorded during the Teen Dream session in July 2009. Since we used tape, we often slowed the tape way down to create effects while recording, which led to â€œ10 Mile Stereo (Cough Syrup Remix).â€

â€œWhite Moonâ€ and â€œThe Arrangementâ€ were both songs that we didnâ€™t believe fit on Teen Dream. â€œWhite Moonâ€ originally appeared on our iTunes live session. Since that was recorded and mixed very hastily, we have remixed it to better match our current aesthetics. We have also remixed and included the version of â€œNorway" we did at that same session. We wrote and recorded â€œI Do Not Care for the Winter Sunâ€ during a break between tours and released it on the internet for free, unmastered. Well, itâ€™s finally been masteredâ€¦

â€œWherever You Goâ€ is another song from that era. We always loved this song but thought it sounded too much like our old music. We didnâ€™t finish it until 2011 during the Bloom recording session. It appeared originally as a secret song on Bloom. â€œEqual Mindâ€ was also recorded during the Bloom session, but we left it off the record after realizing it had the exact same tempo as â€œOther People.â€ â€œSaturn Songâ€ is built on a piano loop we wrote while recording Bloom, and contains sounds recorded in deep space. It originally appeared on a compilation of songs incorporating space sounds that was released in 2014.

Finally, there are two previously unreleased songs from the Depression Cherry/Thank Your Lucky Stars sessions. They are called â€œChariotâ€ and â€œBaseball Diamond.â€

"Sleep" & "When the Sun Hits" introduced me to Slowdive & I been longing for their return. I was ecstatic when they release this back in 2017. It contains some of the most played tracks on my phone/playlist & I finally got the physical in 2025. This album is my comfort, impeccable from start to finish. mcmxcivmusic
