What does “ For her dinner, Baby pink lavender , leather white umbrella sinners” mean 😭

This winter, Januari 2026, I started reading books again. The second book I read was We Do Not Part by Han Kang (who won the Nobel Prize in Literature recently). The book centers around the heartbreaking historical trauma of the Jeju Uprising in Korea, through beautful imagery with themes of snowfall, cold black trees, and winter.

While reading this book, I listened to my newly purchased B-Sides and Rarities CD almost on repeat. By coincidence, a beautiful blizzard hit the Netherlands. I spent hours reading by my dormitory window, looking down at two massive snow-covered trees in the courtyard. I felt so connected to the story. Everything was in a wintery harmony. The heartwretching winter story, the cold history, the similar scenery outside my window, the CD playing on repeat.

It was such a beautiful and meaningful book to me, that I became interested in Korean contemporary history and the difficulties Korean people had to overcome, and I even wrote my Master's thesis on the authoritarian era of South Korea. ( I graduated last month :D )

B-Sides and Rarities has to be my most played CD this year. Even though I do not know the names of most tracks, I find this album so beautiful as when I listen to it now, my mind links it to scenes from the book. As it is getting colder again, I really hope this winter covers my city in snow again, so I can have this experience once more.

Has anyone else felt such a stong synergy between a BH album and a specific book? If not, try my combo :)

She's So Lovely 😍

From the Thank Your Lucky Stars Album - Beach House.

Just wondering people's thoughts on this album thanks

I got a new job and was able to listen to their entire discography. Before I liked devotion the best, but this time around I realized which album was truly the best.

Teen dream is for me the best album.. I'm only saying this now because I've secured a very valuable record. Devotion is still their top album and then surprisingly their newest album was incredible.

Honerable mention goes to depression cherry. It had the best lp cover and also some great songs on there.

Who knows if they'll ever tour here though....

Anyone getting all of the tracks from tonight’s live? Would love to listen to this full set

Do you guys think they’re making a new record??? Maybe I’m delusional but I’m so exited right now!!😭😭

absolutely amazing

I’ve been listening to “Levitation” a lot lately and wanted to share the real life context behind it for anyone who might not know (or for newer fans).

On the night of August 20, 2012, two 19-year-old friends from Ellicott City, Maryland Rose Mayr and Elizabeth Nass were sitting on the railroad bridge over Main Street. Shortly before a CSX coal train derailed, one of them posted a photo of their feet dangling over the edge with the caption “Levitating.”

The train derailed, and the coal cars tipped over, burying them. It was a tragic accident (the NTSB later attributed it to a broken rail).

Many of the lyrics line up in a heartbreaking way:

“On the bridge, levitating ’cause we want to”

“When the train comes I will hold you”

“When the unknown will surround you”

“There is no right time”

In 2022, around the 10-year anniversary, it became clearer that the song was inspired by this event. There’s a hidden/inverted photo of the two of them that appears when you interact with certain words on the old Depression Cherry lyrics page on the Beach House website. Alex Scally also commented “Rest in Peace Elizabeth and Rose” on one of the Reddit threads. One of Liz’s sisters has also spoken about it here in the past.

I think it’s one of the most powerful things Beach House has done turning something so sudden and tragic into something beautiful and eternal. The song feels even heavier and more transcendent once you know.

Rest in peace, Rose and Elizabeth.

Hi! Hoping someone here who went to the Flushing Meadows show with Beach House and The Strokes might be able to help.

I attended with a VVIP ticket and unfortunately lost the numbered 5×7 art postcard included with the package. It was a meaningful night for me, and I’d love to find a replacement.

Does anyone have a spare or one they’d be willing to sell? I’d gladly cover the cost and shipping.

Thanks 🫶🥺

EDIT: Since a lot of people have been confused I just want to clarify this is an OLD screenshot from 2025. Beach House previously contacted the mods of this subreddit and asked them to post the above message. I was just re-sharing it here as the basis of conversation since it’s the last message directly from the band regarding new music.

_________________

Absolutely buzzing off of the 10/2 Flushing Corona Park show. Beach house absolutely ROCKED that shit. Seeing PPP live has unlocked another dimension in my soul. I was HEARING COLORS at that show. Indescribable, what a time to be alive.

But enough about my experience, is anyone aware of any more recent lore than this post from 2025? No rush to the creative process from Alex and Vic, I want them to take all the time in the world they need. I’ll be ready whenever LP9 comes. Just curious if I’ve missed out on any news.

A side note, been loving everyone’s videos from the shows over the last few weeks! Hope most of you got a chance to see them live. Keep the videos coming as I will continue to be in a headlock after their show in Queens this past weekend!

This song holds so much weight.

♥️

And I say this with the utmost respect and love of Beach House:
Does anyone else hear a seal?

Some more fun lost media, found this Two Weeks performance with Victoria and Grizzly Bear on an old episode of The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien from 2009!

Hi all! I made this video a decade ago and only now recently going back to it to read the kind comments. I’m glad it resonated with fans of the band. Want to work on more Beach House projects like this coming up.
