Beach House definitely had this controversy. It was never so contemporaneous though that they obviously knew they were going to be releasing it. This time it would be hard to explain.
These changes are making me nervous. I really do think they were acquired by Alliance Entertainment. If they make one or two missteps in quality I'm probably headed for the hills. I will be sad tho.
I know it's probably commensurate with what's available, and I know they have had some epic releases done by women artists in the past, but I wish that there were more albums by women.
