Beach House touring, playing record release show at Bowery Ballroom (in two weeks!)

by Bill Pearis

Beach House

Baltimore dream pop duo Beach House will play Bowery Ballroom on May 15 — the same day they release their fourth album, Bloom. $30 tickets go on sale Friday, May 4 at noon (with an AmEx presale happening 24 hours earlier). The Bowery date, which Zomes is opening, will be the the last of a short East Coast tour (all dates are at the bottom of this post). Beach House’s next NYC show will be their already sold-out, and much larger, Summerstage performance on July 23.

For the record nerds out there, Sub Pop is releasing a “Loser Edition” of Bloom on 2xLP white vinyl. If you pre-order from Sub Pop, you might just get one of 300 glow-in-the-dark vinyl copies of the record which will be sent out at random. If you haven’t heard anything from the album yet, you can stream or download opening cut “Myth” (which sounds a bit like “Eyes without a Face” to these ears) below, and stream Best New Track “Lazuli.” Check below for those, along with all announced Beach House tour dates (including a just-announced summer run with Wild Nothing).
