Devotion (Carpark)
I suppose this is what a sophomore album should sound like. I don't know why I was looking for more. Devotion is a solid, consistent, and cleaner album than their great self-titled debut. Still, song for song, Devotion doesn't quite measure up to it's predecessor. This isn't to say Devotion isn't a good listen, but quite the opposite. Beach House's lush arrangements reminiscent of shoegaze/slowcore bands of before, along with heavenly vocals make this album well worth the effort. The first three tracks are strong, luring you into the mellow world that Beach House has created with Devotion.
hear: Wedding Bell, You Came to Me, Gila, Some Things Last a Long Time, Home Again
