Beach House, Papercuts Kick Off Tour Tonight

This evening, in their native Baltimore, Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally of Beach House will kick off a North American tour that will lilt its way gently but sure-footedly into April. On all but one of the band's dates, they'll be joined by San Francisco's Papercuts, who, curiously, won't be appearing with the band in their hometown.
Beach House, whose fine Devotion is out this week in the States on Carpark, are, at the moment, the most recent recipients of Pitchfork's Best New Music distinction. And Jason Quever of Papercuts won't just be there to look cute and kick out jams from his own Recommended album Can't Go Back; he'll sit in with Beach House on drums.
And take note, Beach combers: in addition to the recently Forkcasted clip for Devotion's "You Came to Me", the band mention on their MySpace blog that they've spent February working on videos for "Gila" and "Heart of Chambers".
