Beach House - B-Sides And Rarities - CASSETTES

This compilation contains every song Beach House - aka Alex Scally and Victoria Legrand - 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, InchB-sides record? Why would Beach House put out a B-sides record? Their A-sides are like B-sides.Inch 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 wasn't the InchbestInch 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 didn't like as much, just ones that didn't have a place on the records we were making. The oldest song is InchRain in NumbersInch and was recorded in 2005, during the summer when we formed the band. We didn'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 InchUsed to BeInch that we quickly recorded it and put it on a 7Inch for our fall tour with the Baltimore Round Robin. The same session begat our cover of Queen's InchPlay the GameInch 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. InchBabyInch was written and recorded in October 2009 with our friend Jason Quever. Inch10 Mile StereoInch was recorded during the Tee
