Best Coast’s new track ‘Boyfriend’ has just been released in anticipation of their debut ‘Crazy For You’ out on Mexican Summer on July 27th. This is the longest, slowest build for a debut (or it just feels that way, seeing as I was into ‘When I’m With You’ sometime last winter). So I hope it’s worth the hype, I already know we can expect the lofi pastel-y fifties pop stuff, so I won’t be disappointed.

I will, however, take the onslaught of California surfer music as subliminal messages. This song is sweet and filled with teenaged angsty longing, “the other girl is not like me, she’s prettier and skinnier…I wish he was my boyfriend”. To settle this, once you pass the impressionable age of 17, you will not be wishing he was ‘your boyfriend’.
