Late on Valentine's Day evening, Baltimore duo Beach House released a new song called "Lemon Glow," along with the words: "Wishing everyone out there love tonight." It was apt timing since Victoria Legrand hushedly sings of a new lover saying, "It's what you do/This pulls me through/I come alive/You stay all night," giving us yet another perfect Beach House song to make out to. The single was the first taste of the duo's forthcoming seventh album, appropriately titled 7. Since then, they've also shared the second single, "Dive." Beach House's last albums were 2015's Depression Cherry and Thank Your Lucky Stars. Last year, they released a collection of unreleased music as an album called B-Sides and Rarities. 7 is out May 11 via Sub Pop. - Jasmine Albertson
