Beach House is an American dream pop band formed in Baltimore in 2004, composed of current members Victoria Legrand (vocals, keyboards) and Alex Scally (guitar, keyboard, backing vocals, drum programming), who first met through Baltimore's indie scene. [1] [2] Their work is characterized by a hypnotic dream pop style. The band first gained recognition in 2006, after their song "Apple Orchard" was featured on a Pitchfork MP3 mixtape, subsequently releasing their self-titled debut album on October of that year, through Carpark Records.

They released their second studio album Devotion in 2008. In 2009, they were offered a contract signing to Sub Pop, which allowed them to release their third studio album Teen Dream in 2010, which was released to critical acclaim. [3] It was followed by their fourth studio album Bloom (2012), which was also praised by critics and commercially successful, peaking at number 7 on the US Billboard 200. [4] [5] In 2015, the band released two albums, Depression Cherry and Thank Your Lucky Stars , which was described by the band as "not a companion to [the former], or a surprise, or b-sides." [6] Their seventh and eighth respective studio albums, 7 (2018), and Once Twice Melody (2022), have also received acclaim by critics.

History

2004–2008: Formation, Beach House and Devotion

We had numerous sessions about what we should call ourselves. It was pretty funny. We tried to describe all these otherworldly-type things, things that would reflect the way we sounded. And there was mention of a beach party on the moon. We already had a song called "House on the Hill," and basically it just came out one day: Beach House. Why not just name it this? I think we were lucky.

— Victoria Legrand, The Miscellany News , regarding the band's name (2007) [7]

In 2004, lead vocalist Victoria Legrand moved from her birthplace of Paris to Baltimore after being dissatisfied with theater school. [8] She had also moved there because a colleague who went to Vassar College, where she graduated from in 2003, was also living there, meeting guitarist Alex Scally, who graduated from Oberlin College in 2004, through a mutual friend later that year. [7] They ended up created music together, forming Beach House that year. [9] [10] He invited Legrand to his house to try a variety of organs he had used on 4-track recordings, kept in storage, and both of them got along well. [11] Aside creating music at the time, Scally worked with his father as a carpenter, while Legrand worked as a waiter at a Mexican restaurant. [12] [13]

The duo began recording their first album in 2005 in Scally's basement, which was recorded on a 4-track recording tape over a two-day period. [14] [15] [9] The budget for recording the album was reportedly about $1,000. [16] Inspiration for their band name came from "House on the Hill," one of the songs they recorded had written at the time. [7] Scally also talked about the origin of the band's name saying, "We'd been writing music, and we had all these songs, and then there was that moment where you say 'what do we call ourselves?' We tried to intellectualize it, and it didn't work. There were different plant-names, Wisteria, that kind of thing. Stupid stuff. But, once we stopped trying, it just came out, it just happened. And it just seemed perfect." [17] In an interview with Pitchfork, Legrand addressed their being a two-member status thus: "[I]t's a way to challenge ourselves: What do you do when it's just the two of you? ... [O]ne of the reasons this has been such a fulfilling experience for me is that with two people, it's so much easier to achieve things that feel exciting and new." [18]

In August 2006, their song "Apple Orchard" was featured on a Pitchfork MP3 mixtape. On October 3, 2006, the band released their self-titled debut album, Beach House , through Carpark Records, and was ranked 16th on Pitchfork's Best Albums of that year. [19] The album was recorded on a 4-track over a two-day period in Scally's basement. [9] [20] On January 2007, the band released a music video for "Master of None." [21] They released another video for the track on July 2007, which conincided with an official release of their self-titled album in the United Kingdom. [22] In June 2007, Beach House revealed, in an interview with Pitchfork, that they were working on their second studio album, adding that they were again working with Rob Girardi at the newly-established Lord Baltimore Recording studio. [23] In October of that year, they officially announced the album and its title as Devotion . [24] Beach House's second album, Devotion, was released on February 26, 2008. It was received with similar acclaim as the first album and was included in Pitchfork's Best Albums of 2008 list. [25] The duo began writing the album within the first half of the year, starting the recording process in July 2007, [26] with the usage of an old Yamaha keyboard that became the "main instrument of the band", according to lead vocalist Victoria Legrand. [27] On October 21, 2008, the group released the single "Used to Be".

2009–2010: Teen Dream and breakthrough

In February 2009, Beach House recorded a cover of Queen's "Play the Game", which was only released on the iTunes Store version of the Red Hot Organization's compilation album Dark Was The Night . [28] [29] That same year, the band began writing their third studio album. [16] Aside, Legrand provided backing vocals on the song "Two Weeks" by the indie rock band Grizzly Bear. She later collaborated with the band again by providing vocals to "Slow Life", the band's contribution to the soundtrack for the film Twilight: New Moon . [30] In September of that year, it was announced that the duo had signed onto independent record label Sub Pop, marking their departure from Carpark, where they released their first two albums, along with a confirmation that the duo were recording their third studio album. [16] [31] In October of that same year, the duo announced their third studio album, Teen Dream . [32] With the record deal, they were able to produce a DVD version of the album, meeting its expectations, as well as hire a producer, Chris Coady. [16] [33] The album was recorded at Dreamland Studios in Hurley, New York. [34] [35] On November 17, the band released "Norway", the lead single from Teen Dream, on their website as a free download. [36] The song was originally written while on a train in Norway in 2008. [37] [38]

Teen Dream did little to alter Beach House's core characteristics---slow-motion beats layered with hazy keyboard drones, rippling guitar figures, and Victoria Legrand's melancholic melodies---but greatly amplified them to the point of redefining the band's essence, from that of introverted knee-gazers into an assured, emotionally assertive force.

— Stuart Berman, Pitchfork [39]

Despite Teen Dream being leaked on the Internet at the near-end of 2009, [40] it was later officially released through Sub Pop on January 26, 2010, becoming their first album release through the label, [41] and was met with critical acclaim upon release. [3] [42] It contains a newer version of their 2008 single "Used to Be". [43] The album's unitedly positive reception garnered the band a larger fan base, with Jay-Z and Beyoncé being spotted at the band's Coachella 2010 set. [44] On February 1, 2010, the band released their Daytrotter Session EP, which features live renditions of four songs from Teen Dream. [45] [46] [47] Of the success of the album and it being dubbed the group's "breakout" record by numerous publications, Legrand stated: "I see this as just another step in a direction. I would not want to say that 2010 will be our year, necessarily, I hope it’s just another year in which we do good work. I don’t want to be defined by this year, I want it to just be a beginning." [48] The album was also included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die . [49] On August 24, 2010, the band released their six-track iTunes Session EP, which also featured a new song, "White Moon". [50] [51] In October 2010, the band contributed a charity T-shirt for the Yellow Bird Project to raise money for the House of Ruth women's shelter in Maryland for victims of domestic violence. [52] On December 16, 2010, the band released "I Do Not Care for the Winter Sun" on their website for free. [53] The song was written and recorded in 2010 during a break between tours after they felt "incredibly grateful" to their fans. [54]

2011–2014: Bloom

In 2011, the band revealed that they were planning on working on their fourth album, with Scally stating that, as soon as they finish going on tour for Teen Dream, they were going to "wait for the writing process [of their next album] to be really exciting and inspired". [55] That same year, they revealed that they have already written a few songs for it while touring. [56] In February 2012, it was reported that the duo's fourth studio album would drop in May 15, of the same year; its alleged tracklist was revealed and the album was reportedly titled Bloom. [57] [58] On March 7, 2012, the band streamed a new song, "Myth", from their website, confirmed as the lead single from Bloom. [59] [60] The second single from the album, "Lazuli", was released on April 13, 2012, [61] and was released as a 7-inch single, with "Equal Mind" as its B-side, as a Record Store Day exclusive release. [62] [63]

Bloom was released on May 15, 2012, by Sub Pop, and was met with praise from contemporary music critics upon release. [64] [65] The album debuted at number seven on the US Billboard 200, selling 41,000 copies in its first week; it became the duo's best selling album on the chart. [66] Supporting US tour dates for the album were also announced, with its start date being on May 4, 2012, at Charlottesville, and its end date on July 23, 2012, in New York City. [60] Soon after touring, dates for a supporting international fall tour, marketed as the Frightened Eyes tour, were announced, commencing on September 13, 2012, in Richmond, Virginia, and concluding on November 19, 2012, in Amsterdam. [67] [68] At around this month, a British advert for automobile manufacturing company Volkswagen was published, which features a song that was referred to as a rip-off of the band's song "Take Care". [69] The band responded, stating that the advertising agency had attempted to license the song from them, politely declining. [70] The band also stated that fans should not direct their comments to the company, but to the advertising agency instead. [71] In June 2012, Beach House was featured on the cover of Issue #80 of the Fader . [72] A music video for "Lazuli" was released on June 6, 2012. It was directed by Allen Cordell, who also directed the video for "Walk in the Park" from Teen Dream. A music video for the track "Wild" has also been released. [73]

The band released a short film, Forever Still, on February 4, 2013. [74] The film, directed by the band and Max Goldman, was inspired by Pink Floyd's Live at Pompeii and features the band performing songs from Bloom at various sites around Tornillo, Texas, where the album was recorded. [75] The idea for the film came from the band's desire to make quality promotional content they could control artistically: "We had previously been involved in too many live sessions, radio tapings, photoshoots, etc., where the outcome was far below our personal artistic standards. We also felt a need to distance ourselves from the 'content' culture of the internet that rewards quantity over quality and shock over nuance." [76] A music video for "Wishes" directed by Eric Wareheim and starring Ray Wise was released on March 7, 2013. [77] In March 2014, the band released the song "Saturn Song", which exclusively appeared on the Lefse Records compilation album The Space Project. [78] In July 2014, the band announced the Northern Exposure Tour, with concert dates taking place in Alaska and Canada. [79]

2015–2017: Depression Cherry and Thank Your Lucky Stars

On May 26, 2015, the band announced their fifth album Depression Cherry . It was released on August 28 via Sub Pop (on Bella Union in the UK) [80] and the band announced a world tour in support. Talking about the direction of the new album, the band said, "In general, this record shows a return to simplicity, with songs structured around a melody and a few instruments, with live drums playing a far lesser role. With the growing success of Teen Dream and Bloom, the larger stages and bigger rooms naturally drove us towards a louder, more aggressive place; a place farther from our natural tendencies. Here, we continue to let ourselves evolve while fully ignoring the commercial context in which we exist." [81] "I think, this album continues to change meaning for me. But if anything, it's full of many things. Love, pain, getting older, dealing with loss, letting go. It's really ultimately whatever the listener feels in response to it," has Legrand described. [82] "The name Depression Cherry is like a dance between these two energies. That very abstract feeling summed up the energy field of the record for us," specifies Victoria. [83] This LP received praise from critics. [84]

On October 7, 2015, the band announced a sixth album, Thank Your Lucky Stars , which was released on October 16, 2015. [85] The record was co-produced by the band and Chris Coady. It received favorable praise from critics. [86] Though the album was recorded alongside Depression Cherry, the band felt that the records should be seen as distinct unconnected works. [87]

On September 28, 2015, music webzine Spin reported that the band had performed a new song called "Helicopter Dream (I'm Awake)" on Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne's new podcast. [88] Other music webzines also reported on the purported new track, including Consequence of Sound , [89] Fact , [90] and Stereogum [91] However, according to the band's representatives, the song was a fake. In an email to Spin, their representatives state, "It is not a new song. Not even their voices on that podcast. Sorry!" [88] An article on the gossip blog Gawker used the hoax as an example of "how easy it is to fool a blogger". [92]

Reaction to the fake track was largely favorable, with Spin calling it a "fuzzy space-odyssey" [88] and Consequence of Sound describing it as "a reverb-soaked number." [89] Even the band itself gave a positive review, tweeting, "To whoever made that fake podcast interview, we like your helicopter dream song." [93] The fake song and podcast hoax was named by Vice's Noisey as one of "The Best Trolls of 2015." [94]

On January 31, 2017, the band announced a North American tour. In addition, they announced that they were working on a compilation of B-Sides and rarities. [95] The compilation, B-Sides and Rarities , was eventually released on June 30, 2017, and was supported by a new song, "Chariot", which served as the lead single of the compilation and one of the two previously unreleased songs on it. [96] In a promotional bio, the band wrote, "[B-Sides and Rarities] felt like a good step for us. It helped us clean the creative closet, put the past to bed, and start anew." [97]

2018–2019: 7

On February 15, 2018, the band released a new song, "Lemon Glow," and announced it as the lead single from their then-upcoming album which they said would be released "later this spring." [98] On March 7, the band released another single from the album, "Dive", alongside an announcement of the album's title.

7 is the seventh studio album by Beach House, released on May 11, 2018, through Sub Pop. It follows the B-Sides and Rarities compilation album released in 2017, which served as a proverbial "cleaning out the closet" to pave the way for a new creative process. [99]

The album saw the group's departure from longtime producer Chris Coady. 7 was co-produced by Beach House and Pete "Sonic Boom" Kember. His work with Spacemen 3 and Spectrum impressed the band to reach out and see if he might like to co-produce the album with them. [100] The record also features drums from James Barone, the band's longtime live drummer.

In a promo interview following up to the release of the record, the band explained about the recording process:

"...our goal was rebirth and rejuvenation. We wanted to rethink old methods and shed some self-imposed limitations. In the past, we often limited our writing to parts that we could perform live. On ‘7,’ we decided to follow whatever came naturally. As a result, there are some songs with no guitar, and some without keyboard. There are songs with layers and production that we could never recreate live, and that is exciting to us. Basically, we let our creative moods, instead of instrumentation, dictate the album’s feel." [101]

‘’This album felt really kinetic. We tend to make pretty still music, and this record felt like we were really excited by the kind of bubbling, chaotic, discordant energy field. … The vibe and the show are getting more energetic and messy, but in what I think is a cool way. Maybe a little bit more "rock and roll," to use the old term,’’ adds Scally. [102]

On October 23, 2018, the band released a limited edition 7-inch vinyl of "Lose Your Smile" from 7 as the A-side and a new track from the recording sessions of 7 titled "Alien" as the B-side. The vinyl was originally sold on the band's European tour in dates from September to October. [103] [104] [105] In addition, "Alien" was released as a standalone single to digital download and streaming services. [106]

2021–present: Once Twice Melody

In 2021, "Space Song", the third track from their fifth studio album Depression Cherry, became a sleeper hit when it attained virality on TikTok and later received a platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on January 2022. [107] [108] Further, the song was featured in the Netflix-original television series Wednesday (2022), appearing in its third episode. [109] After its appearance on the series, the song earned over four million streams in the United States, within the November 25–December 1, 2022, tracking week. [110] With the support of the streams, the song debuted at number 20 on the US Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart, marking their first appearance on the chart, [110] later peaking at number 13 on the chart the following week. [111] In November 2021, the band announced their eighth studio album Once Twice Melody , released on February 18, 2022. [112] The 18-track double album was released in four "chapters". [113] The first chapter, Pink Funeral, was released on November 10, 2021, with the title track being released as its lead single on the same day. [114] [115] Its second chapter, New Romance, was released on December 8, 2021. [116]

The third chapter for Once Twice Melody, Masquerade, was released on January 19, 2022. [117] "Hurts to Love" was released on February 14, 2022, to coincide with Valentine's Day, as the album's second single, [118] further denoting its inclusion on its fourth chapter, Modern Love Stories, which officially marked the official release of the entire album, on February 18, 2022. [119] [120] Once Twice Melody debuted atop the US Billboard Top Album Sales chart, with 20,300 copies sold in its first week; in addition it debuted atop the US Top Alternative Albums, Top Rock Albums and Top Vinyl Albums charts. [121] It also debuted at number 12 on the US Billboard 200 album chart with 24,000 album-equivalent units, adding their fourth top-20 entry on the chart. [122] On February 26, 2022, American rapper Kanye West published a series of photos of him with the band in a studio, leading to speculation of a collaboration. [123] [124] [125] "Superstar" was later sent to US radio on April 4, 2022, as the third single from Once Twice Melody, while the title track peaked at number 15 on the US Adult Alternative Airplay chart. [126] [122] The band performed "Superstar" on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on May 20, 2022. [127] To support the album, the band embarked the Once Twice Melody tour, which began on February 18, 2022, in Pittsburgh and ended on July 24, 2022, in Washington, D.C.. [128] The liner notes of Once Twice Melody also list James Barone as a full band member for the first time. Their Spotify bio was also updated to reflect this lineup change. [129]

On February 16, 2023, the band announced their EP Become, containing five previously unreleased songs from the Once Twice Melody sessions. The project was released on April 22, 2023, as a Record Store Day exclusive before being made available for streaming on April 28, 2023. [130] On August 19, 2023, the band curated and introduced a favorite film, Lynne Ramsay's Morvern Callar , at the inaugural edition of Baltimore's New/Next Film Festival. [131]

Other projects

Gene Clark No Other Band

When [Gene Clark's] No Other was released in September of 1974, it received a lot of bad reviews, most criticising its studio excess. A lot of people of its generation don't really know the record. Throughout the years since, many have dug the record up and fallen in love with it. We are certainly two of those people and we hope that the tour we are organising to play the record live will spread awareness of the album even more.

— Beach House, regarding the Gene Clark No Other Band [132]

In December 2013, Beach House announced that they had put together a supergroup, referred to as the Gene Clark No Other Band, for a four-concert tour in January 2014, which took place in Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York City and Washington, D.C., where they covered American singer-songwriter Gene Clark's album No Other (1974) in its entirety to bring it to a new audience. [133] The supergroup's member lineup consisted of fellow Baltimore musicians including members of Lower Dens, Wye Oak, Celebration, Fleet Foxes, Grizzly Bear and The Walkmen, along with Iain Matthews of Fairport Convention and Plainsong. [134] [135] Each performance also included a presentation of a specially edited version of the documentary The Byrd Who Flew Alone: The Triumphs and Tragedy of Gene Clark. [136] In March 2014, it was announced that they were also the headliners for the 2014 End of the Road Festival. [137] [138] A 50-minute video of the supergroup's entire January 26 performance at the Music Hall of Williamsburg in New York was released by Pitchfork in April 2014, with Legrand as part of the vocal chorus and Scally on bass. [139] [140] Bill Pearis of BrooklynVegan called the performance a "knockout show." [141]

Scoring

In 2021, Beach House collaborated with Meow Wolf, an immersive arts production company based in Santa Fe, NM. [142] The band scored a short film called Marin's Dreams and created soundscapes for Meow Wolf's new permanent installation in Las Vegas called Omega Mart. [143] The band composed music for three rooms within the installation — "Upload Ghost," a sculpture designed by Stephen Hendee, "Goblin Computer," and "Marin and Rose's Dwelling." [144]

Beach House scored four trailers that ran before each film screening at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival. [144] [145]

In March 2022, it was announced that Beach House would provide the score to Sofia Alvarez's Netflix film Along for the Ride . [146]

Musical style

Genres and structures

Beach House is often labeled as a dream pop band, [1] [2] [16] though the band have usually dismissed being labeled as such, stating that they "feel very much that [they] don't have to be put into a category." [147] The group's success in the late 2000s solidified the popularity of the dream pop subgenre with millennial listeners. [148] They have also been described as indie rock [20] [149] [150] and shoegaze. [1] [125] Legrand's vocals within the duo's self-titled album had been compared to those of Nico and Hope Sandoval. [151] [152] That album, along with Devotion and Teen Dream , have also been described as indie pop and lo-fi, the latter album incorporating live drums. [153] [154] Bloom also sees a high usage in live drums and has a darker sound than Teen Dream, [155] as well as a lean-away from their lo-fi style into "high-grade pop". [156] The band also wanted the album to have a "similar vision" to albums such as The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds (1966), The Cure's Disintegration (1989) and Depeche Mode's Violator (1990). [157] [158]

The band also degraded their live drums usage within their fifth and sixth studio albums, Depression Cherry and Thank Your Lucky Stars , both released in 2015, returning to a simpler style of dream pop and relying more on programmed drum rhythms, [159] while also adding shoegaze influences onto a few tracks, including "Sparks" and "One Thing" on their respective albums. [160] [161] They later began increasingly incorporating electronic textures on their songs. [1] The material within their seventh studio album 7 (2018) being described by music publications as dream pop, with shoegaze and psychedelic pop influences. [162] [163] [164] Their eighth studio album and first double-album release Once Twice Melody was described by critics to feature other genre influences such as neo-psychedelia and chamber pop, [165] [166] with its separate tracks found within its four chapters being described in other genres such as shoegaze and synth-pop. [167] [168] The album was solely produced by the band, a first for them, and features live string arrangements, which were handled by David Campbell. [169] Throughout the album, there are also tracks that omit live drums, electronic songs without guitar, and "wandering and repetitive melodies", as described by the band. [170]

Influences

Some music outlets have also compared Legrand's vocals to 1980s psychedelic rock vocalist Kendra Smith of the band Opal. Guitarist Alex Scally plays a Fender Stratocaster guitar in an E♭ Tuning.[ citation needed ] The group's influences include the Zombies, Brian Wilson, Neil Young, Big Star, and Chris Bell. [35]

Beach House re-recorded the Tony, Caro and John song "Snowdon Song" and renamed it "Lovelier Girl". The song was released on the band's self-titled album with no attribution. Initially, Tony Dore of Tony, Caro and John stated, "I haven't seen much yet in terms of royalties or acknowledgement of authorship". Several months later, however, Dore disclosed that discussions had taken place to apply proper attribution on re-releases of the self-titled album. [171]

Legrand has described creating new music and releasing albums as a necessity for the band, saying, "When we decide that a record is finished, I think it's really about coming to terms with saying 'OK, I think we've done everything that we could do, and now it's time to let these things go.' Because if we hold onto them, we might destroy them or they might never come out. There are all different types of artists and I think that some people like to hold onto things and they get very perfectionistic. But perfectionism is kind of a synonym for destruction. It can really be a deterrent for one's evolution. Alex and I have always felt that putting records out is very necessary. It's a gut feeling we have." [172]

Legacy

Beach House's music has been sampled by prominent hip-hop and R&B artists. In 2011, The Weeknd sampled "Master of None" and "Gila" in his songs "The Party & the After Party" and "Loft Music," respectively. [173] Kendrick Lamar sampled "Silver Soul" for his hit "Money Trees." [173] The rap group G-Side sampled "10 Mile Stereo" in their song "How Far." [174]

Beach House has also inspired songs and musicians. Pop duo The Chainsmokers wrote "Beach House" as an ode to listening to Beach House. [175] Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips listed Beach House's album Bloom as one of the ten records that changed his life. [176]

Live performances

The band has toured extensively worldwide. Of touring, Legrand stated: "[W]e love touring. That's when you get to get into a rhythm, playing every night. It can be really fun. And I think you learn where you want to go with your music." [177]

Beach House is famous for its visual-heavy live shows that elevate their sound to a new level. Scally believes that playing live music is the best way to connect with fans. The band's innovation in tour décor began with lightboxes with disco balls in them that Scally and Legrand made for their first tour. [178]

In March 2009, the band was featured at the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas. [179] In April 2010, the band performed at the Coachella Festival in Indio, California. In June 2010, the band surmounted "technical difficulties due to too much MDMA" while playing a set on The Park Stage at Glastonbury. [180] In August 2010, the band joined Vampire Weekend on tour as one of their two opening acts, the other being the Dum Dum Girls. In October 2010, Beach House played at the Austin City Limits Music Festival. On December 20, 2010, the band performed on Conan .

The band was chosen by Animal Collective to perform at the All Tomorrow's Parties festival they curated in May 2011, [181] and also by Portishead to perform at the ATP I'll Be Your Mirror festival that they curated in July 2011 at London's Alexandra Palace. [182] On May 29, 2011, the band played at the Sasquatch! Music Festival. On July 31, 2011, the band played at the Fuji Rock music festival in Niigata, Japan. On October 16, 2011, the band played at the Treasure Island Music Festival. On May 18, 2012, they appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman and on Sunday, July 15, 2012, they performed the closing set on the Red Stage during the Pitchfork Music Festival.

In May 2012, the band appeared on Later... with Jools Holland [183] playing "Myth" and "Lazuli" from their 2012 album, Bloom. On July 26, 2012, they performed the Bloom cuts "Wild" and "Wishes" on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon .

On October 17, 2015, the band performed "One Thing" from their album Thank Your Lucky Stars (which debuted the same night) on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert .

On July 15, 2016, the band headlined the Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago, Illinois. [186] On August 13 the band played at the Eaux Claires music festival in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. [187]

"I believe that our show now with 7 material, visually and musically, is the best it's ever been. It evolved over a long period of time and it's a vision now. At first, it was just an idea, but now it's an experience…. We want to make people leave themselves. Any good artistic experience is like that," adds Scally. [178]

In March 2018, the band announced an extensive tour itinerary that started at the end of April in the States and took them through the fall to Europe.
