To quote Bethany Cosentino's arch-nemesis Carles, "Best Coast is a fuzzy buzzy band that sings abt dank, California, boys, and kitty cats," which for better or worse sums up the band pretty well. Of course that summation also misses out on the nuances of the band, like how they perfectly combine Patsy Cline like vocals with 90s rrriot girl guitar rock and beach pop sensibilities, or how Bethany's seemingly simplistic lyrics hit closer to home than a knotty wordsmith like Joanna Newsom, or how no other album ruled the summer of 2010 like Best Coast's "Crazy For You." I think I listened to this record at least three times a day throughout the summer, and given the chance I'll do it again next summer.
