Once Twice Melody is the 8th studio album by Beach House. It is a double�album, featuring 18 songs presented in 4 chapters. Across these songs,�many types of style and song structures can be heard. Songs without drums,�songs centered around acoustic guitar, mostly electronic songs with no�guitar, wandering and repetitive melodies, songs built around the string�sections. In addition to new sounds, many of the drum machines, organs,�keyboards and tones that listeners may associate with previous Beach
House records remain present throughout many of the compositions.

Beach House is Victoria Legrand, lead singer and multi-instrumentalist, and�Alex Scally, guitarist and multi-instrumentalist. They write all of their songs�together. Once Twice Melody is the first album produced entirely by the�band. The live drums are by James Barone (same as their 2018 album, 7),�and were recorded at Pachyderm studio in Minnesota and United Studio in�Los Angeles. For the first time, a live string ensemble was used. Strings were�arranged by David Campbell.

The writing and recording of Once Twice Melody began in 2018 and was�completed in July of 2021. Most of the songs were created during this time,�though a few date back over the previous 10 years. Most of the recording was�done at Apple Orchard Studio in Baltimore. Once Twice Melody was mixed�largely by Alan Moulder but a few tracks were also mixed by Caesar�Edmunds, Trevor Spencer, and Dave Fridmann.
