Teen Dream

Teen Dream is the third studio album by American dream pop duo Beach House. It was released on January 26, 2010, through Sub Pop, being their first full-length release under the label following their departure from Carpark Records in 2009. Internationally, the album was released by Bella Union in Europe, Mistletone Records in Australia, and Arts & Crafts in Mexico. The album was produced and arranged by the duo, with Chris Coady as co-producer.
After Beach House finished touring in support of their previous studio album Devotion (2008), the duo began writing Teen Dream, which took about nine months. Recording sessions took place in July 2009 at Dreamland Studios in Hurley, New York and DNA in New York City. After it was announced that the duo signed to Sub Pop, they announced the album in October 2009, and released its lead single, "Norway", on November 17, 2009. Days after the single's release, Teen Dream was leaked onto the Internet. The album's second single, "Zebra", was released on Record Store Day, on April 17, 2010.
The album was met with critical acclaim from music critics, who praised the duo's change in sound and the album's instrumentals. It was also named as one of the best albums of 2010 by several publications. It debuted at number 43 on the US Billboard 200 with 13,000 copies sold within its first week of release, eventually selling a total of 137,000 copies in the United States by April 2012. In May 2012, they released the album's follow-up Bloom, which was met with similar acclaim.
