Best Coast can pull off things that other bands try to accomplish but fail miserably. It is alright that the entire album consists solely of broken hearted love songs, or that the vocals are so simple that you feel like you could have written them when you discovered your first crush, and it is even alright that Beth Consantino rhymes crazy and lazy more times than I wish to count. The point is that Best Coast is doing what other bands wish they could. With drowsy guitar riffs and low fidelity vocals Consantino captures the true volatile and complex nature of relationships by the simplest means. Hailing from the palm tree infested lands of Los Angeles, Best Coast is piloting the revolutionary indie beach rock scene single handedly. While emerging independent rock bands from middle America and elsewhere strive to achieve this developing new surf sound, Best Coast does so with ease. Don’t try and write this album off as another compilation of dreamy love songs because it strikes your emotions other bands rarely strike upon. Listen to these tracks while thinking about waves and other things that all of you us locked folks have never or seldom experienced and see where it takes you.
dude you should seriously be a reviewer/journalist
