The group consists of Victoria Legrand (vocals, organ) and Alex Scally (guitar, keyboards). Legrand is the niece of French composer Michel Legrand. The group has released eight albums: Beach House (2006), Devotion (2008), Teen Dream (2010), Bloom (2012), Depression Cherry (2015), Thank Your Lucky Stars (2015), 7 (2018), and Once Twice Melody (2022).
Within a year of formation, the group charmed indie music enthusiasts across the blogosphere with their languid songcraft, while the eerie warmth of "Apple Orchard" landed on Pitchfork's Infinite Mixtape MP3 series in August 2006. Two months later, Beach House issued their eponymous debut album for Carpark. Fall shows with labelmates Over the Atlantic were also scheduled.
Victoria can also be heard on Frenemies' Birds in High School album. She and Chris Freeland created harmonies on the song "Waiting for the Ambulance". Victoria can also be heard on Grizzly Bear's 2009 release Veckatimest and she sings on "Slow Life", a Grizzly Bear track featured on the official soundtrack for Twilight: New Moon.
In September of 2009 Sub Pop Records announced that Beach House had signed and that a follow up album to 2008's Devotion, Teen Dream would be released in early 2010.

on Beyond Love
My ears may be blocked but I don't hear: "You wanted to find Elvis and I didn't understand". I hear that: ''You wanted to find ever since I didn't understand''. Of course, I only listened to or read 6 or 7 interviews with Alex and Victoria: that's not a lot. However, I never heard Victoria or Alex talk about Elvis. Alex named the Beatles, Dylan, Jaco Pastorius and Led Zeppelin. As for Victoria, she spoke more of Jim Morrison and Janis Joplin because of their voices. She underlined that it was through this particular musical instrument that is the voice - this is, in fact, part of the person - that they entered into music. I would say, in conclusion, that "Beyond love" is the only song where a musician is named - if, of course, those who hear Elvis in the song are right.
Sorry if maybe "my" English hurts your ears. But I live in the south of Belgium where French is spoken. In the north of the country, people speak Dutch. It was on the radio, Wednesday 01/06/2022 that I heard for the first time the name of the group and 1 minute of one of their songs. Since then - I'm retired - I've been doing just that: listening to this amazing band.. love at first sight.. what talent and charisma, Alex and Victoria..
