Beach House's North American and European fall tour kicks-off tonight, Thursday September 13.  The "Frightened Eyes" tour begins in Richmond, VA at The National and ends on November 19 in Amsterdam, NL at Paradiso. The North American dates will feature direct support from Thrill Jockey recording artist Dustin Wong (September 13- October 3) and Sub Pop & Bella Union label-mates Poor Moon (October 4-17). A complete list of tour dates is below.

The "Frightened Eyes" tour is in support of Bloom, which is available now in the US and Canada on CD, double-LP, and digital formats from Sub Pop Records. The album is also available in the following territories: in Europe from Bella Union, in Mexico from Arts and Crafts, and in Australia from Mistletone. In the US, Bloom debuted at #7 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, and spent four weeks at #1 on the CMJ Top 200 chart. Bloom, led by the singles, “Myth” and “Lazuli” was recorded in late 2011 at Sonic Ranch Studios in Tornillo, TX and mixed at Electric Lady in NYC. Bloom was co-produced by Beach House and Chris Coady.


What people are saying about Bloom:
“The two-piece dream-pop band wraps listeners in lush, expansive down comforters of sound."—Entertainment Weekly [30 Artists to Watch in 2012]

“The music dissolves girl groups, minimalist patterns, rock anthems, drones and lullabies into a thoughtful stasis. Instead of seeking to create peaks and valleys, Beach House songs thicken without building up; they find equipoise and hold it.”—New York Times [Critics’ Choice]

“The songwriting is tighter, yet the atmosphere feels more diffuse; the lyrics are more straightforward, yet they're somehow suggestive of larger things. By just about every measure, Bloom's wingspan is fuller than anything Beach House have done before.”—Pitchfork [9.1 “Best New Music”]

Bloom's songs are just as rich and meticulously crafted, and meant to be heard as a whole.”—NPR

Bloom is a masterstroke, an utter gamechanger…Bloom should be to the year 2012 what Loveless was to 1991, or Yankee Hotel Foxtrot was to 2002, or Funeral was to 2004: a landmark release.”—PopMatters [10/10]
