Xmas Advent [December 8th] :: Beach House

Victoria Legrand of Beach House recommends… “Battle Cat” by Adventure

“If it was possible to embody a combination of a superhero, an intense teenage crush, a sorcerer, a prism, a starship, a storm, an ocean, swirling colours melting on fire, stupefied androids staring at God, and miniature dinosaurs wreaking havoc upon a miniature nation – and to experience constant, relentless, intense emotions in all these situations – that would be how this song makes me feel. It’s like the deepest level of emotion and intensity possible in a video game. The sounds feel like they’re coming at you and around you like hundreds of tiny meteor spaceships of electronic passion, love and ecstasy.”
