“Myth“ is a song by dream pop band Beach House, from the band's fourth studio album, Bloom. The song was released as a single on March 26, 2012. The song surfaced on the band's website on March 7, 2012, before its commercial release.
“Nothing happens to shatter the perfect surface,” The Guardian said in a review of Beach House’s fourth album, Bloom. It wasn’t meant as a compliment. But that bright, mirror-like surface is what makes “Myth” one of the Baltimore dream-pop band’s most powerful songs to date and places it among the purest versions of the enveloping sound they’ve refined for almost a decade.
(3/23/12): "’Myth’ was the first thing that as a band we presented directly on the internet.” ~ Victoria, La Luna de Metrópoli (El Mundo) (translated from Spanish)
(4/27/12): “We thought ‘Myth,’ as a first song, it's not so much as a single as it is a first song. It was a gateway. It was just a very beautiful gateway to the record. It is also the first song to the record itself. I think it was more about the feeling of it.” ~ Victoria, Miami New Times
(7/11/12): {i]Myth was put together largely on the road, touring after Teen Dream came out, right? “I wouldn't say ‘put together,’ but the genesis of a song, where the melody starts to come out, a lot of that did spring out during the sort of epic amount of touring we did after that record.” ~ Alex, Pittsburgh City Paper
(6/11/19): “We wrote this song in 2011, but it still vibrates in the ‘right’ way, so we keep its light burning.” ~ Alex, Baltimore
