10. Beach House
Forming in 2004, Beach House is comprised of two main musicians: Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally. Together, they make beautiful, ethereal music that can be mostly classified as dream pop. Over the years, they have expanded this sound from minimalistic slow burning songs to full-on anthemic pop. The best thing about their songs is how strong the writing is. The lyrics are fantastic and the sounds seems bigger than the sum of its parts.
When they play live, the music shines and washes over you. It makes life feel bigger in that moment, like things makes more sense somehow. Watching this band with thousands of other people will seem like an out-of-body experience. And then youll realize that you were actually there and yes, it was real.
