Southern California duo Best Coast is friends Bethany Cosentino and Bobb Bruno. The pair met nearly a decade ago through the LA music scene and shared passions for art, food and local culture. Best Coast released their debut album Crazy for You in the summer of 2010, and the critically-acclaimed, Jon Brion-produced follow up The Only Place in the summer 2012, which placed on both Spin and Rolling Stone's Best of Albums of 2012 list. Their dedicated fan base continues to grow. With an impressive 100k Twitter followers, a simple tweet linked to a home recording of Rob Orbison's [...]

London's Keebo channels portions of Warpaint's freezing-cold guitar pop and Best Coast's sun-blasted half-anthems. On "Native American", the band, an all female foursome, layers vocals and guitars in a hazy, cold medicine architecture. Noticeably changing tempo between verse and chorus, a slower drive in the refrain, indicating something of an inside-out ethos, already lilting guitars gone contemplative in a nearly wordless chorus that is respite inside of respite.
Le groupe pop Best Coast nous offre une très belle reprise du titre Crying de Roy Orbison . Une version réalisée avec la participation de Snacks The Cat , à savoir le chat de la chanteuse Bethany Cosentino qui pousse des petits miaulement vers la fin de la piste. Pour en revenir à l'essentiel, ce morceau lo-fi certe plus moderne que l'original en reste pas moins tout aussi planant et relaxant.
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive Dan Reilly There are thousands of artists in Austin for SXSW , and I'll be seeing a lot of them. This year, I decided to challenge myself and write about every band I see, no matter how much of their set I caught, or even if I saw/heard them unintentionally. Most of these "reviews" are pieced together from my illegible notebook scribblings, but that's all I've got. [...]
Martes 12 de marzo de 2013. Parecía que este año no era el indicado para que Best Coast hiciera su aparición en SXSW, pero un show -no oficial- de Red Bull, hizo posible a una gran cantidad de personas el poder verla en acción. Después de una potente aparición de una banda llamada Big Black [...]
Sometimes we could keep things a lot simpler. Want a one-line review of today's recommendation? OK, meet the British version of Real Estate . There. We. Said. It. But that's not our style is it? No. We prefer to divulge a few informative facts, a sprinkling of context, a dollop of adjectives and our own meandering commentary to compliment our recommendations. For those who care, read on, for those who don't, well, you can race to the bottom and simply click play on them there Soundclouds. Either way, you're going to enjoy this band. Keebo [...]
Earl Sweatshirt ft Tyler, the Creator - "Whoa" Here's another new Earl Sweatshirt track from his upcoming LP Doris. Not a big fan of the music myself, but it does have a nice sound to it and I really like the video concept and how it blends with the song. AlunaGeorge – 'Attracting Flies' Very nice groove to this tune, definitely one of pop's most funky sounding duos - Attracting Flies is one of those songs you can get jiggy [...]
We haven't heard too much from California duo Best Coast lately, but a cover of Roy Orbison 's "Crying" surfaced the other day, which features singer Bethany Cosentino 's cat. But the pair give the 1960's classic an updated lo-fi sound, but still retains that old school feel. Definitely a more relaxing listen than some of the previous posts of today, but it's mid-afternoon here and mellow time is what I need. Listen below. Fresh? Tweet

Best Coast and Bethany’s lovely cat, Snacks, have made a cover of Roy Orbison’s “Crying”. Is it just me or is she sounding better and better by every track released. As always, giving that surf-drenched swooning touch to everything she does, she helps lighten the mood on the heavy-hearted original.
In this edition, Bethany Cosentino, aka Best Coast covers Roy Orbison's song "Crying". Fun Facts: *This is the second appearance of "Crying" in 'Don't Blow Your Cover'. Austra covered the song the first...
The shining city lights of New Orleans were momentarily eclipsed by the neon haze of thousands of LED lights and the bobbing glow sticks of a perpetually dancing crowd on the banks of the Mississippi River. This was Buku Music + Art Project : the eclectic two-day festival that took over the Mardi Gras World facility last weekend. While gates opened around four in the afternoon each day, the party lasted until three in the morning. Regardless of the ground's close quarters, each stage felt as if it belonged to an entirely different festival. There was something [...]

Best Coast' s Bethany Cosentino returns once again with her always-lovable Snacks the Cat. Together, the two of them carved out an adorable, lazy cover of Roy Orbison's "Crying". It's everything you'd expect from such ingredients, but hey, that hasn't stopped us from eating pizza, right? Yeah, don't ask - long day, stream below.

Bethany Cosentino, I feel like you are trolling me by covering this guttural, deeply emotional Roy Orbison song "Crying" and sticking your cat on it, as well. Not to get Grandma Claire on you guys, but Orbison made some of my favorite music. A lot of it I love because it brings me back to weekday family dinners that were soundtracked by him and a grip of other Mama Lobenfeld-approved tunes - my dad was the first dude to play David Bowie on American radio; my mom cannot carry the tune to "Happy Birthday," so we had to go for [...]
