Teen Dream is the third studio album by American dream pop duo Beach House. It was released on January 26, 2010 as the band's debut album on the record label Sub Pop. Internationally, the album was released by Bella Union in Europe, Mistletone Records in Australia, and Arts & Crafts in Mexico. The album was produced by the band and Chris Coady. The duo began recording the album after going on tour in support of their second studio album Devotion (2008), with sessions taking place at Dreamland Studios in Hurley, New York and DNA in New York City.
A dream pop and shoegaze album, Teen Dream was supported by three singles; "Used to Be", "Norway" and "Zebra".

The album was met with critical acclaim from music critics, who praised the duo's change in sound and the album's instrumentals. It was also named as one of the best albums of 2010 by several publications. It debuted at number 43 on the US Billboard 200 with 13,000 copies sold within its first week of release, eventually selling a total of 140,000 copies as of May 2012.
