Best Coast - The Only Place (Mexican Summer) A terra na qual o sol nunca se põe. O estado da Califórnia já inspirou inúmeros sucessos da história da música, sejam eles obras-primas como uma certa California Girls , dos Beach Boys , sejam trabalhos grudentos de qualidade duvidosa, como a (quase) homônima de Katy Perry . Bethany Cosentino resolveu, em seu segundo álbum com o Best Coast , provar que seu amor pelo estado das ondas, praias e estrelas de cinema é maior que seu amor pela reverb e distorção, [...]

JULIA HOLTER, JIB KIDDER, CLOAKS ( Holocene , 1001 SE Morrison) Renaissance pop curio Julia Holter is known for communicating more with the plaintive pace and silence of a single song than certain louder artists might yield in a lifetime, and her breakthrough record  Ekstasis is an exquisite balance of such tense, threadbare moments. There's an emphasis on emphasis there, and a sense of devotion one might even call liturgical—no wonder Holter's been referred to as this generation's "savior of reverent music." But for all this talk of vibe and structure, what sticks most in the [...]

"On most of the tracks, after the nervous strum of the guitar sounds, you’d almost expect Sum 41’s Deryck Whibley or Blink 182’s Tom DeLonge to break out singing about crashing a house party or brushing� �up against a crush’s lo cker." Best Coast - The Only Place (2012) 4.0/10 Mexican Summer « When I’m with you » had the record player scratchiness that a picture would have being bleached by Californian sun, bringing to mind a dog-eared portrait of laughing youngsters with just enough candidness so as not to fall into to prepubescent teen-pop and conjure up a kind of universal nostalgia of summers past – conveying [...]

The sky might be the limit for Best Coast as a brand, but The Only Place only ends up highlighting Bethany Cosentino's ceiling as a performer and songwriter. When the word first got out that Best Coast was working with �ber-producer Jon Brion for its sophomore effort The Only Place, more than a few eyebrows were raised over the incongruous pairing of the L.A. duo's flaky lo-fi approach and the symphonic-pop impresario's slick aesthetic. But really, anyone who's been tracking the stratospheric rise of Bethany Cosentino shouldn't have been surprised, since making a big pop statement would [...]

Posted in General Clickable Title track from Best Coast's second offering here for you. It doesn't exactly suit the crappy weather today, but what the hell. No change of direction from BC with this album, but rather a step towards being a grown up band. I just read a funny quote in Mojo though that kinda sums up what [...]

I Best Coast tornano con il secondo album in studio, “The Only Place”, in uscita per Mexican Summer Records il 15 Maggio. Il singolo, intitolato proprio come l’LP, è un inno alla California, e uscirà il 7 Maggio, ma circola già in rete. L’album si preannuncia come il seguito di “Crazy For You” (del 2010) e i due componenti del gruppo, i Californiani Bethany Cosentino e Bobb Bruno , mostrano una maggiore maturità nei suoni e nelle prospettive. Mentre “Crazy for You” era un nostalgico inno alla loro adolescenza, nel nuovo album la [...]

While Bethany Cosentino was in NY all she could think about was California. Best Coast was her way of expressing her love for California and of coping with the NY cold. Best Coast's upcoming album (May) will be no different from their first endeavor. Words from her brand new single, The Only Place,  assure us of this. " …Why would you live anywhere else?..      We've got the ocean, got the babes,      Got the sun, we've got the [...]
