The album features two previously unreleased tracks ‰ÛÏChariot‰۝ and ‰ÛÏBaseball Diamond‰۝, which were recorded during the \u003ci\u003eDepression Cherry\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThank Your Lucky Stars\u003c\/i\u003e sessions, both albums of which were released two months apart in 2015. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eAbout the \u003ci\u003eB-Sides and Rarities\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003ealbum:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eWhen we announced that we were releasing a B-sides and rarities album, someone on Twitter asked, ‰ÛÏB-sides record? Why would Beach House put out a B-sides record? Their A-sides are like B-sides.‰۝ This random person has a point. Our goal has never been to make music that is explicitly commercial. Over the years, as we have worked on our 6 LPs, it wasn‰۪t the ‰ÛÏbest\" or most catchy songs that made the records, just the ones that fit together to make a cohesive work. Accordingly, our B-sides are not songs that we didn‰۪t like as much, just ones that didn‰۪t have a place on the records we were making.åÊ\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe idea for a B-sides record came when we realized just how many non-album songs had been made over the years, and how hard it was to find and hear many of them. This compilation contains every song we have ever made that does not exist on one of our records. There are 14 songs in total.åÊ\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe oldest song is ‰ÛÏRain in Numbers‰۝ and was recorded in 2005, during the summer when we formed the band. We didn‰۪t have a piano, so we asked our friend if we could use his, which was pretty out of tune. We used the mic that was on the four-track machine to record the piano and vocals. It was originally the secret song on our self-titled debut.åÊ\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eSequentially, the next couple of songs are from late 2008. We were so excited about ‰ÛÏUsed to Be,‰۝ that we recorded it right after writing itåÊso that we could have it as a 7‰۝åÊsingle for our fall tour with the Baltimore Round Robin. We recorded our cover of Queen‰۪s ‰ÛÏPlay the Game‰۝ in the same session. It was for a charity compilation benefiting AIDS research and we will continue to donate all profits from the song to that charity. As fans of Queen, we thought it would be fun and ridiculous to try to adapt their high-powered pop song into our realm. These songs were recorded at the same studio where we made \u003ci\u003eDevotion\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThere are a bunch of songs written and recorded in the 2009-2010 window. This period of time, as well as 2014, was our most prolific to date. ‰ÛÏBaby‰۝ was written and recorded in October 2009 with our friend Jason Quever.å?ÛÏ10 Mile Stereo‰۝ was recorded during the \u003ci\u003eTeen Dream\u003c\/i\u003e session in July 2009. Since we used tape, we often slowed the tape way down to create effects while recording. When we were doing that for ‰ÛÏ10 Mile Stereo‰۝ we decided we wanted to make an alternate version where the whole song was slowed down, hence the ‰ÛÏ10 Mile Stereo (Cough Syrup Remix).‰۝\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e‰ÛÏWhite Moon‰۝ and ‰ÛÏThe Arrangement‰۝ were both songs that we didn‰۪t believe fit on \u003ci\u003eTeen Dream\u003c\/i\u003e.å?ÛÏWhite Moon‰۝ originally appeared on our iTunes live session. Since that was recorded and mixed very hastily, we have remixed it to better match our current aesthetics. We have also remixed and included the version of ‰ÛÏNorway\" we did at that same session. The main reason we wanted to include ‰ÛÏNorway‰۝ is that it features a very different bridge from the original version.åÊ\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eAfter the insane year of touring we had in 2010, we felt incredibly grateful to our fans for all that had happened. We wrote and recorded ‰ÛÏI Do Not Care for the Winter Sun‰۝ during a break between tours and released it on the internet for free, unmastered. Well, it‰۪s finally been mastered‰Û_\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e‰ÛÏWherever You Go‰۝ Is another song from that era.åÊåÊWe always loved this song but thought it sounded too much like our old music. We paused writing it and didn‰۪t finish it until 2011 during the \u003ci\u003eBloom\u003c\/i\u003e recording session. It appeared originally as a secret song on \u003ci\u003eBloom\u003c\/i\u003e.åÊ\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e‰ÛÏEqual Mind‰۝ was also recorded during the \u003ci\u003eBloom\u003c\/i\u003e session. We really like this song, but pulled it from the record when we realized it had the exact same tempo as ‰ÛÏOther People.‰۝ They are like twins.åÊ\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eBloom\u003c\/i\u003e sessions led to ‰ÛÏSaturn Song‰۝ as well. This song is built on a piano loop we wrote while recording \u003ci\u003eBloom\u003c\/i\u003e. It also contains sounds recorded in deep space. It originally appeared on a compilation of songs incorporating space sounds that was released in 2014.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eFinally, there are two previously unreleased songs from the \u003ci\u003eDepression Cherry\/Thank Your Lucky Stars\u003c\/i\u003e sessions. They are called ‰ÛÏChariot‰۝ and ‰ÛÏBaseball Diamond.‰۝åÊ\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"South Records Ltd","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":64322480800121,"sku":null,"price":7.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":64322480832889,"sku":null,"price":16.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/1463\/6153\/files\/beach-house-b-sides-rarities-south-records-ltd_4853b00e-b53d-4b03-93ec-787ece47b83c.png?v=1787901877","url":"https:\/\/vinyl-relic.com\/products\/beach-house-b-sides-rarities","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
