Victoria Legrand & Alex Scally have been making music together as Beach House since 2004, when they formed the dream pop band in Baltimore. 7 is the duo's 7th full-length album of new material, and it's clearly an important record for Beach House. Through their label, Sub Pop Records, they have commented on their recording process and what they intended 7 to be. According to Beach House: "We are interested by the human mind's (and nature's) tendency to create forces equal and opposite to those present. Thematically, this record often deals with the beauty that arises in dealing with darkness; the empathy and love that grows from collective trauma; the place one reaches when they accept rather than deny."
