Depression Cherry

Depression Cherry is the fifth studio album by the American dream pop duo Beach House. It was released on August 28, 2015, through Sub Pop in the United States, Bella Union in Europe, Mistletone Records in Australia, Hostess Entertainment in Japan and Arts & Crafts in Mexico. The album was arranged entirely by the duo, while also co-producing the album alongside Chris Coady.

Reacting to their dissatisfaction with using live drums on tour to play songs from their previous album, Bloom (2012), Beach House returned to a simpler style of dream pop arrangements for Depression Cherry, relying on less usage of live drums and instead constructing around drum machine rhythms, similar to the musical styles of their first two studio albums. The duo began thinking of musical ideas in 2012 and began writing songs from the album between autumn of 2013 and 2014. The entire album was recorded at Studio in the Country in Bogalusa, Louisiana, from November 2014 to January 2015.

To promote Depression Cherry, "Sparks" was released as the album's lead single on July 1, 2015, with "PPP" and "Beyond Love" being released as the second and third singles on August 6, 2015. It was further supported with a concert tour from August to December 2015. Upon release, the album received mostly positive reviews from critics, who likened the musical approach to the band's first two studio albums. It debuted at number eight on the Billboard 200, with 27,000 copies sold. Less than two months after releasing Depression Cherry, Beach House followed it up with their sixth album, Thank Your Lucky Stars.
