Aug 10, 2015 Beach House By Michael Wojtas

Last week, Beach House previewed “PPP” and “Beyond Love,” both from their forthcoming album Depression Cherry, due out 8/28 on Sub Pop. They’ve now made both songs available on their website, albeit in a very non-traditional manner. As Stereogum points out, the band has posted a “Single Finder” feature which will lead you to either “PPP,” “Beyond Love,” or the excellent prior single “Sparks.”

The duo explains:
“For us, it’s always a strange moment when a single has to be chosen. No one song ever feels like a prefect representative for a record. This device allows you all to choose the 3 songs you have enjoyed most in the past and have a “single” chosen for you based loosely on what we consider to be musical similarities. enjoy”

And, in further interactive Beach House news, the band has also posted a “Setlist Creator” function on their website. Here’s what they had to say:
“While on tour, we change our setlist every night and certain songs get played only a few times per tour. This device will allow us to know if there is a large number of people wanting to hear a certain song in any one place. It’s not that we will definitely follow it, but it will certainly influence our set lists…... maybe 50 people in milwaukee want to hear a song we made 10 years ago?!?!
Choose the “setlist creator” next to the show you are going to and follow the directions there…...........Thanks”
