Song(s) of the Day # 3,330 Best Coast

 


I started listening to LA duo Best Coast's debut album Crazy For You, from 2010, a couple of weeks ago in anticipation of seeing Go! Team play this last weekend. They're a Rock and Pop obsessive's wet dream.

Drawing largely on early Beach Boys and Girl Groups funneled through the intervening decades and the indie/ record store sensibility that accumulated there.

Set on a beach where the waves always lap on the shore and the sun never sets. Where Sandy and Danny never feel obliged to negotiate or bow to the demands of High School peer approval, and can gambol and frolic in the sand to their heart's content. You probably don't need to own all of Best Coast's albums. But you might want to invest in this one.

  1. Yep, this is the only one I ever bought! Liked it a lot at the time, but didn't think I needed any more.
