Just a couple of months ago Beach House gave us the album Depression Cherry.
Now they have released Thank Your Lucky Stars, a new album from the same recording sessions.

“Elegy to the Void” from Thank Your Lucky Stars
Hippo Campus is a young band out of Minneapolis.
They have 2 solid Eps to their name.
