Best Coast’s debut LP ‘Crazy for You’ is out July 27 via Mexican Summer and boy, will you be pleased. She’s got an unhealthy love for her cat Snacks, California and plays washed out beachy pop, so I’m advocating for our future friendship. Let me know, Bethany. Anyway, This 14 track wonder is perfect, each song is short and sweet, packaged in echoey vocals and fuzzy guitars. She sings about love and the sun, but she’s far from the dumb daisy duke California girl bullshit that is so Kelly Kapowski. She’s a bit bratty, a bit bold, but reveals her softer, feminine side singing, “everytime you leave this house, everything falls apart”. One of my favorite tracks is All Summer, a track for Converse by Best Coast, Kid Cudi and Rostam Batmanglij- not on the record, but you can d/l it below.

The season of summer is so teenager. That’s what this record makes me feel like. “There’s something about the summer” describes just that. You just want a boyfriend because the summer brings it out of you. My friend Andrea and I know the curse of summer all too well. So as I await for her arrival on my back porch for us to drink beer in the brutal heat we’ll be blasting this record in defiance of my Guido neighbours. Take THAT World Cup assholes!
