It was released on August 28 via Sub Pop (on Bella Union in the UK)[29] and the band announced a world tour in support.

Talking about the direction of the new album, the band said, "In general, this record shows a return to simplicity, with songs structured around a melody and a few instruments, with live drums playing a far lesser role.

[36] On September 28, 2015, popular music webzine Spin reported that the band had performed a new song called "Helicopter Dream (I'm Awake)" on Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne's new podcast.

[37] Other music webzines also reported on the purported new track, including Consequence of Sound,[38] Fact,[39] and Stereogum[40] However, according to the band's representatives, the song was a fake.

[41] Notably, reaction to the fake track was largely favorable, with Spin calling it a "fuzzy space-odyssey"[37] and Consequence of Sound describing it as "a reverb-soaked number.

"[38] Even the band itself gave a positive review, tweeting, "To whoever made that fake podcast interview, we like your helicopter dream song.

It follows the B-Sides and Rarities compilation album released in 2017, which served as a proverbial "cleaning out the closet" to pave the way for a new creative process.

We tend to make pretty still music, and this record felt like we were really excited by the kind of bubbling, chaotic, discordant energy field.

[51] On October 23, 2018, the band released a limited edition 7-inch vinyl of "Lose Your Smile" from 7 as the A-side and a new track from the recording sessions of 7 titled "Alien" as the B-side.

Several months later, however, Dore disclosed that discussions had taken place to apply proper attribution on re-releases of the self-titled album.

[75] Legrand has described creating new music and releasing albums as a necessity for the band, saying, "When we decide that a record is finished, I think it's really about coming to terms with saying 'OK, I think we've done everything that we could do, and now it's time to let these things go.'

[79] Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips listed Beach House's album Bloom as one of the ten records that changed his life.

In June 2010, the band surmounted "technical difficulties due to too much MDMA" while playing a set on The Park Stage at Glastonbury.
