The guitar solo just totally cuts against the song’s gentle buzz and sweet melody. So here are the 10 best Beach House songs that stand out, through their melodies, riffs, lyrics and sentiments, in a lineup where virtually every song is already a gem. Yet, Beach House’s catalogue has a tendency to blur together, not only because of the rate at which the Baltimore duo releases music-two albums this year alone-but also because Beach House continues to color songs with the instruments its members know best-skeletal drum machines, hazy organs, slippery slide guitar figures and Legrand’s diva-noir vocals. Beach House’s consistency is its most impressive quality, and the sonic shifts over the course of six albums are rarely overt. Since releasing its self-titled debut in 2006, organist/vocalist Victoria Legrand and guitarist Alex Scally haven’t changed the formula they’ve only honed it. Beach House figured out its recipe for success real fast.
