About Bloom

Bloom is the fourth studio album by American dream pop duo Beach House. It was co-produced by the band and Chris Coady, and was released on May 15, 2012, by Sub Pop. The album was written over two years of touring and was recorded at Sonic Ranch in Tornillo, Texas, over seven weeks. Building on their previous album, Teen Dream (2010), the duo continued to add live drums to their song arrangements for Bloom, supplementing their drum machine rhythms. Bloom received positive reviews from critics and debuted at number seven on the Billboard 200, selling 41,000 copies in its first week. It was ranked by many critics as one of the year's best albums, and in August 2014, was recognized on Pitchfork's list of "The 100 Best Albums of the Decade So Far", appearing at number 53. more »
