#1 Beach House | NACC Charts for May 22, 2018
Beach House soar from 12-1 this week with their seventh LP, 7. In doing so, they become only the third artist to climb from outside the Top 10 to the top spot since NACC began. Gorillaz (13-1) and Ty Segall (24-1) are the others. The Baltimore duo’s Sub Pop release also climbs to #1 on the NACC Next and Non-Comm Charts this week supplanting Dr. Dog on the top of all three charts. Beach House is one of college and community radio’s most successful acts of the last decade and has one of the most consistently well-reviewed catalogs of, really, any band, so it’s not too surprising to see them race to #1 after their lofty debut last week. The question will now be how many weeks they spend on top. read more…

“I could listen to Marika Hackman on repeat for hours–and honestly, I definitely have already. Her music is kind of fascinating and meaningful both sonically and lyrically, so I can appreciate it on so many levels! I wouldn’t dare pick an album–her entire discography is fantastic and diverse.”

Genre MD of the Month
Brazos Ebner
WFCS 107.7 The Edge
“What excites me most about electronic music lately is the whole trend of “mutant pop” music, which is essentially taking a basic pop formula, injecting some very contemporary electronic instruments, many chords with unique progression, and extremely processed vocals.”
