Thank Your Lucky Stars

Thank Your Lucky Stars is melancholy beauty. It’s music for late nights, for falling adrift in slow dark waters and gazing numbly at the glowing moonlight.

Even in the age of instant musical gratification, Beach House could be accused of giving us too much information with such prolificness, but the idea that you can have too much of a good thing is thoroughly debunked with Thank Your Lucky Stars.

Beach House’s backing music is often the canvas for Legrand to paint her melodic moods, but on Thank Your Lucky Stars, all the pieces work not for each other, but with each other.
