Yesterday we posted a new song by the gauzy Baltimore duo Beach House, which we speculated was a harbinger of a new record. Today comes official confirmation: Beach House will release its fourth studio album, Bloom, May 15. It was recorded late last year and is the follow-up to the group's most successful LP to date, 2010's Teen Dream. Beach House will also be hitting the road in May, touring the U.S. and and Europe.
