Baltimore – that’s Maryland, not Cork! – outfit Beach House have confirmed Whelan’s, Dublin on February 13 and then journey the following night to Belfast for a Valentine’s Day gig in The Speakeasy.
The jaunt coincides with the release through Bella Union on January 21 of Teen Dream – a wistful thing of beauty that sounds like the Flaming Lips on really good drugs.
The lead single, ‘Norway’, is already among us and picking up loads of cross channel airplay on BBC Radio Two.
