We filled you in on Beach House’s “Used To Be” 7″, then the Baltimore duo headed down to a beach (complete with waterfalls) to perform it. At first glance I thought Victoria and Alex raised the conceptual arc a notch by shooting the “Used To Be”‘s Matt Amato-directed video in — yes — a beach house (or at least a beach-side hotel), but alas: It was shot in a desert outside L.A. and features the sharp-dressed band waiting around, contemplating themselves, and generally feeling the tug of time.

absolute gorgeousness. I just saw the Beach video in Australia now too, and it blew me away. The clarity in her voice is amazing. I love them 4 life! You guys can have your Animal Collective, I’ll take Beach House thank you very much.
Why compare Animal Collective and Beach House if they’re vastly different? I like ‘em both, thank you very much.
I wish people would give up the whole Beach House Vs. Animal Collective debate.
I didn’t know there was a debate, but I’ll take Beach House as well
i’m in love with this song so much. i want them to release another full length NOW.
beach house rock my world
I don’t get it? I’m told it is really good but I don’t believe them. Mediocre at best?
What a stunning song.. I like the fuzzy guitar chords, works well with their sound.
