It's always a struggle to make things sound more or less brilliant.

I think the voice is an underrated instrument these days and it's easy to make up for lack of ability with effects. I think sometimes people are more wowed with effects than core craftsmanship. Strong voices are not as common as they used to be.

Sound is a very unruly thing, and you have to really respect that it's going to differ every time you play.

I truly believe that if you think something's stupid, that might mean it's actually good.

I wouldn't mind doing a soundtrack someday.

If a psychiatrist would analyze [the lyrics], I'm sure they'd come up with something interesting. I really don't try to twist them. I don't want to slash things.

We feel more and more intensely about the music we make. It's unexpected, and not always what you would think of in Beach House. It's all art in the end. We aren't making records because we have to it's because it's what we want to express.

For me, it's really day to day. I don't really plan ahead and I like to be excited about what I'm wearing. Being on the road all the time, it's various articles of clothing that keep me inspired and feeling good. A fun or beautiful thing to wear can change your day. I think spontaneity and not adhering to any narrow styles keep me happy.

I like to hear what other people's interpretations are, because people come up with things I'd never thought about.

In general, I think I'm a very private person. But I also love human beings.

When something goes into the world, you immediately begin to develop another perspective on yourself, another identity.

With us, people caught on to something on our third album, and that will never be repeated. Basically, I don't really have any complaints about the way that Beach House has grown. I feel like we're still in control of what we're doing, and it's a great time in our existence.

I'm a Gemini, so I'm very dual. I love something and I hate it at the same time, so that probably comes out in the lyrics.
Victoria Legrand
Image
People who create art would be fools to assume they know exactly what people are going to think of it.
Victoria Legrand
Image
I studied voice and piano as a child, although, at least with voice, you start over at puberty, because your voice completely changes.

I don't like to read the Internet I'm not aware of what's going on.

But I love the hot sweat. I think overheating onstage is invigorating. It's better than being comfortable. I think being comfortable is the death of a show.

Sometimes people talk about music, whether blogs or magazines, in a strange way where it doesn't seem like they're actually listening to it.

I think the Yamaha has a giant quality. When you combine the Yamaha with other organs, you get this crazy rectangular sound. It's kind of flat and thick.

I personally do not listen to a lot of music. It helps keep my mind free. I don't want to sound like someone else from the get-go. I want to express myself and the world in my head.
