Each Tuesday stop by Muzzle of Bees for our recommended purchases for the week. Here is the album we suggest for the release date of February 26th:
![]()
Artist: Beach House
Album: Devotion
Label: Carpark Records
Myspace: Beach House
MP3: Beach House – “Gila”
Video: Beach House – “You Came To Me”
MoB: Their self-titled debut was delicate and beautiful enough to land on our favorite album list from two years ago. That being said, we had high expectations for this record that were happily met on this record. Though the finalized album preceded their tour with Grizzly Bear, there’s definitely some aural similarities, which is fine by me however they came about.

Artist: Ghostland Observatory
Album: Robotique Majestique
Label: Trashy Moped
Myspace: Ghostland Observatory
MP3: Ghostland Observatory – “Heavy Heart”
MP3: Ghostland Observatory – “Dancin’ On My Grave” (Remix)
Video: Ghostland Observatory – “Sad Sad City”
MoB: I’ve seen these guys only at music festivals which, I believe, they are perfect for. They’ve got good beats, which lends itself to bodies in motion, plus you’ve got a good number of people asking themselves wtf they’re witnessing. It’s fun to watch and fun to be a part of. Initial listen of this album didn’t do much for me, in fact, it almost turned me completely off, driving downtown on the belt line in Madison on Saturday night though it sounded just fine.

Just keep following what Pitchfork recommends it seems to be working for you guys.

Thanks Joan! Why aren’t you posting as Jesus Walken or Jason Hanson this time? Gotta love the tracker!
I haven’t seen P4K’s recommendation of Ghostland Observatory yet. Let me know when you stumble upon it next year.
As for Beach House I’m sure us posting about them in 2004 was somehow related to this week’s P4K recommendation.
Love your site though – how are the 60′s treating you? Wait, don’t answer, I’ll just check your site!
