Beach House - Norway

Beach House are back with a new single and everybody loves it. No really, EVERYBODY. Even Simon Cowell. Actually, he's so impressed with their new look and crisper, sharper [yet still downright dreamy] sound that next week on the X Factor is BEACH HOUSE week. Jedward sing 'Master of None', hear Lloyd stumble his way through 'Lovelier Girl' and watch the panel's nerves jangle as Danyl Johnson gets given the brand new single 'Norway' to swallow up.

Back in reality the TV show's big flashy stage gives you a good idea about just how good the band's new stuff is. While the Carpark records release had it's own understated beauty - let their almost-outshining-the-beauty-of-the-hills performance at Green Man Festival be testament to that - Victoria Legrand is let on to the big stage for the new record. “There’s a different level of intimacy, and physicality, on Teen Dream” she explains “Rhythmically, there’s a new motion. This record touches you”.

The record 'Teen Dream' is released on 25th January by Bella Union and you can get that track, Norway. Yes, the one that Danyl Johnson is singing, by clicking on this picture of Danyl and Victoria.
