Now I have never been to Norway, but if the country was is dreamy as the song of the same name from Beach House, then I’m there come spring break. This track is a preview for the duo’s third album, Teen Dream, which is also the first album on the band’s new label, Sub Pop.
“Norway” encompasses all the trademark characteristics found in a typical Beach House song: heavenly vocals from Victoria Legrand, electronic drums, and little guitar riffs from Alex Scally. The difference between this sound and the band’s previous album, Devotion, is they kick up the BPM a little bit. Adding more of a pop drive, as opposed to the floating atmosphere many of their previous songs had. This change could propel the band in making Teen Dream the Veckatimest of 2010.
