The band will soon tour behind the follow-up to 2018’s 7. Read Pitchfork’s new feature about the album, “Beach House Are Still Surprising Each Other.”

Bad Boy Chiller Crew: Disrespectful [Relentless]
Bad Boy Chiller Crew parachuted in with their 2020 debut Full Wack No Brakes, which they chased with the Charva Anthems EP last spring. The dance crew return with Disrespectful, a mixtape that features a handful of songs the trio has rolled out within the past year: “Bikes N Scoobys,” “Footsteps on My Shoes,” and, more recently, “Messages.” In his review of Disrespectful, Drew Millard writes, “You get the sense that the group is still in a state of shock that any of this is happening at all.”
