Beach House @ Bowery Ballroom - 2 April 2008 (pics, live MP3)

Seemingly floating in place onstage, Beach House's Victoria Legrand and Alex Scully struck an elegant and otherworldly portrait in matching white outfits during last night’s sold-out Bowery Ballroom show. With the lights turned low and a few stray glimmers of a disco ball providing most of the illumination, the scene recalled the Enchantment Under the Sea dance (particularly amidst the stage’s minimal backdrop of cardboard cut-out waves).

Behind these waves sat the Papercuts’ Jason Quever, joining the duo for most of the night in tastefully fleshing out the band’s simple drum loops with subtle bursts of live percussion. The result was a hypnotizing set that established a sense of cohesiveness early, the performance opening with the first three tracks of Devotion played sequentially.

From there, the selections alternated between Devotion and their eponymous debut, never wavering from the overpowering but intimate beauty that defines their songwriting. As Legrand told EAR FARM back in February, “the best shows are the ones where the people are there because they’re curious or want to hear a story and feel intimate. Even a large space can feel intimate, it’s just really a gamble.”

Check out more pics and live audio from this show after the jump.

Don't you realize? The next time you see sky, it'll be over another town. The next time you take a test, it'll be in some other school. Our parents, they want the best of stuff for us...but right now, they got to do what's right for them, because it's their time. Their time, up there.
