another gem from one of the best bands around!
this is (so far) the darkest, most psychedelically experimental BH albums, and i have been in love with it since it released. i don’t think any longtime BH fan will be disappointed.they’ve abandoned drum machines for a real drummer now i believe, and it makes a difference. songs like “Dive” builds up to a heaviness i never expected, nor did i want it to end, is one of the prime examples of this band exploring new paths. the guitar free “Black Car” is a haunting song you’ll be hard pressed to get out of your head. “Woo” and “Lemon Glow” share the synth drenched psychedelia that suits BH very well. the album opener “Dark Spring” i feel is the most ‘typical’ sounding shoegaze-y, dream pop, BH song off the whole album. without delving into each specific song, i’ll just say there isn’t a dud in the bunch. also we get to hear Victoria sing in (her native tongue) French for the first time.i love how comfortable Beach House sounds on this album. while this is their 7th album (hence the title), it feels both familiar and new. they’re venturing into new places, sounds; both beautiful and strange, taking us listeners to a new level.i highly recommend this album, (especially listening with headphones) for diehard and casual fans. each journey Alex and Victoria take us listeners on is special, and i hope they never stop.

Amazing presentation of an amazing album!
In terms of the physical product, it arrived in perfect condition and sounds phenomenal on vinyl. The cover art is incredible and has reflective material that looks fantastic on display. I was pleasantly surprised to see it had a gatefold even though it’s a single LP, who doesn’t love gatefolds? As for the music, this is already one of my favorite Beach House albums. Sounds different from a lot of their previous work, but somehow also very familiar. Top it off with the low price and fast delivery and you have a must-own record!

If 7 was 5
Clean and warm sounding vinyl. And Beach House sound like... Beach House. Somehow they keep refining their music, think of this coming directly after Bloom and it makes perfect sense in musical progression, without compromising their roots/scene/fans/sound. I don't know how you take a two album detour (which were actually great records) and come right back with another solid career highlight. This is the album we were expecting a few years ago If you remember. If they'd released this album instead of the last two, they would be huge mainstream darlings, instead they're ours to enjoy. You can Thank Your Lucky Stars for that one.

Beach House's finest release
From start to finish, this album, Beach House's seventh (appropriately named), is outstanding. If you are reading this, you are likely familiar with Beach House. Two very creative musicians who create layered, melodic "dream pop." The songs on this album sound so familiar, like old friends. If you appreciate and enjoy this genre of music, this is a must listen. Timeless.

I love Beach House!
For this vinyl, there's a holographic detail in the middle. Little things matter and I'm impressed with how their vinyl jackets always have something special going on. Also love the photos inside and the fact that it came with a download card for the digital version.

Decent stuff
Not their best album but still a force and an important addition to their canon.

Incredible 5 star album
Just a great album front to back. Their music just seems to fit my mood perfectly. Bloom is still my favorite but this one is probably a close second. Favorites include Drunk in LA, Lose Your Smile, Dive, and Lemon Glow.

Eagerly awaited...and worth the wait.
This band really impressed me with their one-two punch releases of Depression Cherry and Thank Your Lucky Stars a few years back. After a few listens, I've deemed this release to be a very strong follow-up. They continue to amaze me.

Excelente calidad en general.
El diseño es bonito, el sonido es bueno y trae codigo de descarga para el mp3, incluye letras de las canciones y es gatefold, lo mejor es el precio de 400.

儚く繰り返される美
メランコリックで気怠い感じ。Mercury Revのような抑揚はなく、儚く平坦に繰り返される美
