Beach House
Plays on LTZ: (historical total not available beyond this vault's episode folders)
Beach House are Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally, a dream pop duo from Baltimore, Maryland, formed 2004, releasing six studio albums on Sub Pop. "Myth" was the lead single from their fourth album Bloom, released March 7, 2012. Co-produced with Chris Coady and recorded in 2011 at Sonic Ranch in Tornillo, Texas. Bloom debuted at number seven on the Billboard 200, selling 41,000 copies in its first week — the duo's best-selling album. "Myth" was certified gold by the RIAA in 2023 (500,000 units sold in the US). Opens the show — the pulsing synth intro is long enough to speak over, and the track's unhurried swell gives the opening segment time to breathe, setting the dream pop register for everything that follows.
TikTok angle: "Myth" came out in 2012 — fourteen years old and still the show's opening track. That pulsing synth intro and Victoria Legrand's voice open the night. This was TikTok 1, posted live during the show.
