Back in December when Beach House’s third album Teen Dream leaked, I vowed it would be my favourite record of 2010.

This was probably a bold statement at the time, but I stood by it. And now that we’re nearly 3/4’s through 2010, I can confidently say that it is still my top album this year.

Sure, you can argue all you want about how recent efforts by Arcade Fire, The National, LCD Soundsystem, The Roots, and a dozen of other bands should take the top spot. But Teen Dream will undoubtedly define 2010 for me even years from now.

But enough about Teen Dream. Let’s talk new Beach House. The duo has decided to rework five of their previous songs for its iTunes Session EP, as well as a brand new song called “White Moon”, which you can stream above.

Currently, the album is only available on the US iTunes site, but you can steal it right here, right now. (I apologize for evoking memories of the Jesus Jones’ song of the same name, for those of you who are old enough to remember or even care.)

Here’s the full tracklist:

1. Walk in the Park (iTunes Session)
2. White Moon (iTunes Session)
3. Norway (iTunes Session)
4. Silver Soul (iTunes Session)
5. Gila (iTunes Session)
6. Real Love (iTunes Session)
