Um, they're both indie buzz bands. Both going after a vibe that's a bit left of center. Not that hard really. And I wasn't clumping them together. I was naming a pop record that stood out to me this year. Up until I spent some time with Teen Dream, that record was Contra.

Been listening to this all day, love it more and more each time I listen. Great review!

This record is absolutely amazing, I think it will be stuck in my cd player for weeks to come. Very well written review.

I'm so glad you liked this.

Beach House is great.

been in love with them for as long as i can remember
however, norway doesnt really cut it for me like their old records do. it just seems weak. will i still dig?

Quite kind of you, thanks.

Not only is this most likely going to be the best record of 2010 but, by the time it's all said and done, this is probably going to end up being one of my favorite records... period.

Sounds very cool

After reading the review, and the responses to it, I apparently need a late pass on this band. I will be checking them out this weekend for sure. Hopefully it's as incredible to me, as it is all of you.

Checking them out now.

Edit: Already loving this. Surprised that my two new favorite "dreampopish" bands came from this site (jj).
