Depression Cherry is the fifth studio album by the American dream pop duo Beach House. It was released on August 28, 2015, through Sub Pop in the United States, Bella Union in Europe, Mistletone Records in Australia, Hostess Entertainment in Japan and Arts & Crafts in Mexico. The album was co-produced by the group and Chris Coady, with recording taking place at Studio in the Country in Bogalusa, Louisiana, from November 2014 to January 2015.
Reacting to their dissatisfaction with using live drums on tour to play songs from their previous album, Bloom (2012), the band returned to simpler song arrangements for Depression Cherry, similar to those of its first two studio albums. "Sparks" was released as the album's lead single on July 1, 2015, with "PPP" and "Beyond Love" being released as the second and third singles on August 6, 2015. Upon release, it received mostly positive reviews from critics, while it debuted at number eight on the Billboard 200, with 27,000 copies sold. Less than two months after releasing Depression Cherry, Beach House followed it up with their sixth album, Thank Your Lucky Stars.
