In September 2009, it was announced that the duo had signed onto Sub Pop, marking their departure from Carpark, along with a confirmation that the duo were recording their third studio album,[9] for which they released its lead single "Norway" in November of that year.[10] The band's third studio album, Teen Dream, was released on January 26, 2010, to critical acclaim, and debuted at number 43 on the Billboard 200.[11] By April 2012, according to Nielsen SoundScan, their self-titled album had sold 24,000 copies, with Devotion selling 49,000 and Teen Dream selling 137,000.[5] They released fourth studio album, Bloom, was released on May 15, 2012, to similar acclaim.[12][13] It was supported by two acclaimed singles, "Myth" and "Lazuli".[14][15] The album debuted at number seven on the US Billboard 200, selling 41,000 copies in its first week; this is the duo's best selling album and highest entry on the chart.[16] It also debuted at number 15 on the UK Albums Chart.[17] By 2013, Bloom had sold over 100,000 copies worldwide.[18] On August 28, 2015, their fifth studio album Depression Cherry was released, and debuted at number eight on the Billboard 200, selling over 27,000 copies within its first week.[19] On October 16 of the same year, they released their sixth album Thank Your Lucky Stars, which debuted at number 39 on the chart, selling 10,000 copies in its first week.[19] On June 30, 2017, the band would release the 14-track compilation album B-Sides and Rarities, which would serve as a "cleaning out the closet" process in order to make room for a new creative process.[20]

On May 11, 2018, Beach House released their seventh studio album, 7,[21] with support of the singles "Lemon Glow",[22] "Dive",[23] "Dark Spring",[24] "Black Car"[25] and "Lose Your Smile", the latter being released as a 7-inch single with "Alien" as its B-side.[26] "Alien" was later released as a standalone single on October 23, 2018.[27] In 2021, "Space Song", the third track from their fifth studio album Depression Cherry, became a sleeper hit when it went viral on TikTok and experienced a resurgence in streams, later receiving a platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in January 2022.[28][29] After its appearance on the third episode of the Netflix-original television series Wednesday (2022),[30] the song earned over four million streams in the United States, within the November 25–December 1, 2022, tracking week.[31] With the support of the streams, the song debuted at number 20 on the US Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart, marking their first appearance on the chart,[31] later peaking at number 13 on the chart the following week.[32] Their eighth studio album, Once Twice Melody, was released in four chapters starting November 2021.[33] The entire album was also released in full, and was issued in physical formats on February 18, 2022.[34][35]
