Known until recently for a hazy, reverb-laden take on indie rock, Baltimore duo Beach House have widened their sonic palette considerably with Teen Dream, their excellent new record and first for Sub Pop. For bandmates Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally, the album represents the artistic growth that came with playing hundreds of shows and a desire to break out of the woozy style they cooked up almost four years back when they recorded their first LP, Beach House, on four-track in Scally's basement.
