I came across “Zebra” this morning; the first song that opens the corridor to the third album by Beach House. I followed with ears, the curious and exact tunnel of tiny doors built like a house of cards – Alex Scully and Victoria Legrand’s rabbit hole.

“You don’t gotta worry now, honey”. Legrand’s words indicate a maternal protectiveness of a young zebra, the Teen Dream, like a “black and white horse”, who loves to “stand in the white sand”. The attentive eyes of a mare look on: “Anyway you run, you run before us”.

“Don’t I know you better than the rest?” Legrand makes her zebra singular; stripes to each their own, a rare discovery to marvel on.

The zebra, the white sand or to isolate the color white itself is to recognize a procession of more cards that make up a bedroom dream; the sand that runs out where the song fades, the cards and everything, falls apart.
