Beach House - Devotion (Bella Union)

The second album from this Baltimore duo pushes a sweet, West Coast sound that makes you think of Brian Wilson, but also Macca and Mazzy.
These are songs for dreamers and weavers and they’re largely very good. One thing, though: variety of pace is badly lacking. You’ve slipped off the sofa by the album’s close. Good or bad thing? Depends on what you had for dinner.
