The Baltimore dream pop band Beach House comes out with its fifth studio album, "Depression Cherry," later this month. Here & Now's Jeremy Hobson speaks with both members of the duo - Alex Scally and Victoria Legrand - about their new album, their collection of organs, their friendship and why it can be hard to figure out how to end a song.

Interview Highlights: Victoria Legrand & Alex Scally

On the album's meaning and how it's different from past work

Victoria Legrand: "I think at this point, this album continues to change meaning for me on a daily basis. But if anything, it's full of many things. Love, pain, getting older, dealing with loss, letting go. It's really ultimately whatever the listener feels in response to it."

On the formation of the band

Alex Scally: "We were both just kind of knocking around Baltimore right in our early 20s, and met doing a different musical project, and then this kind of grew out of it over 10 years ago now, which is crazy."

Legrand: "Before Beach House, I was a student, I was into theater, I was writing music on my own. It's just that once I met Alex, life changes and I think life changes fast sometimes, you know, when you meet somebody and it's like, it feels like fate is playing its hand. The rest is kind of history at this point."

On the band's unique sound

Scally: "I think it's probably complicated, because part of it is just the actual instruments we use. Guitar, we play with guitar and organs and drum machines and reverb and stuff. But I think part of it I think is also just intrinsic to our own musical personalities that are like fingerprints to us, just kind of like, 'What do our brains make when we make something?'
