Beach House in the Winter

I don't know what to think of this band's name, Beach House. Listening to it doesn't make me think of warm weather or water skiing. It does seem fitting that this band is releasing their second album, Devotion, on February 26 because this music would fit more properly in a cold, empty beach house. But what do I know.

Either way, the Baltimore-based band dabbles in a bit of shoegazing here. They currently have the song "Gila" on their MySpace, which is off Devotion. So check it out and let the anticipation begin.

The band also has some dates for the upcoming months.

March 31st
Middle East Upstairs
Cambridge, Mass.

April 1st
Wesleyan University
Middletown, Conn.

Both dates are with The Papercuts, who released Can't Go Back last year.
