Beach House Live in Tornillo, TX

30 Jan 2013

As most readers of the Ballroom blog already know, Beach House is going to be playing here in Marfa on April 21, 2013 — pre-sale tickets are long gone, but we’ll be releasing a few standing-room only tickets at 7:30p the night of the show.

The Baltimore band is no stranger to West Texas, either, as they recorded Bloom, their lush 2012 album, at Sonic Ranch in Tornillo, one of the small border towns between Marfa and El Paso. The above clip is a teaser from “Forever Still”, a short film the band made during the recording process. It’s set to debut on Pitchfork.tv on February 4.
