Yes, Best Coast. You may or may not remember, Reagan and I saw them open for Kid Cudi earlier this summer. We both really liked them. They are kind of an odd combo: Two cat loving middle-aged white women, and a dude on guitar that looks like he grew up listening to metal. They are awesome. Reagan and I were both extremely impressed with the singer’s vocal accuracy. She has a very pleasant voice, and did not miss one note during their entire set.
Basically, all of their songs follow the same formula: lyrics about being lonely/wanting a boyfriend; heavy reverb on guitars and vocals; and, keep it under 3 minutes. With this combo, you basically can’t go wrong. If you like this song, you will like the whole album. Here is “When I’m with you.”

One response to “La Musica Coolica #81 (Best Coast)”
I found your blog last year after I’d run the NYRR half marathon in Queens and was so upset about the terrible logistics that I was online checking whether others were complaining too … anyway, I’ve stayed hooked, and since I particularly appreciate the musica coolica posts, I thought I should finally comment to let you know. Thanks for these!
