Background and composition

Following the release of their compilation album B-Sides and Rarities (2017), the band announced the release of "Lemon Glow" on Instagram on February 15, 2018, stating that it was the lead single for their then-untitled seventh album.[1][2] It uses synthesizers and drum machines, with the song ending abruptly.[3]

Critical reception

Named upon release as "Best New Track", Shaad D'Souza from Pitchfork described "Lemon Glow" as a "new direction for [Beach House], with subtle changes to their distinct sound that signal a sharpening of the band’s typically soft edges."[3] Writing for Spin, Tom Connick called it "Beach House's most danceable track to date".[4] Lauren O'Neill from Vice considered that it is "a little more foreboding than [they're] used to from [Beach House]" but stated that it is "a great new twist on their sound".[5]
