Baltimore’s successful airy electricians Beach House kept up their quality in 2015 with Depression Cherry (QRO review) – but they have actually upped their quantity, releasing a second whole new album this year, Thank Your Lucky Stars. While one could quibble if it was necessary, more Beach House is always welcome.

Ironically given their contrasting titles, Thank is actually more of a downbeat record than Depression, but retains the beauty. Stand-outs include the harpsichord basis for “Common Girl”, while the following “The Traveller” effectively and effortlessly does just that.
The atmospheric sounds can tend to wash together a bit, always an issue with artists like Beach House, but it’s a lovely double-dip.
