best coast

all of those muzak blogs have put in their favorite bands of '09
so heres mine:
best coast, hailing from LA, is one of my favs.
they're shoe-gazey lo-fi pop, ultra reverb, and have candy-coated/heart-felt lyrics that are insanely catchy.
its the kind of music you want to listen to when you are either at the beach on a warm summer day, or sitting in your room at night listening to the birds outside your window.
they put one heck of show too.
and as if that isnt enough to make you want to buy all their records and mark your calender every night in anticipation of their next show, their lead singer Bethany Cosentino's hazy 60's inspired pop vocal delivery is endearing and beautiful.



they dont come east much (in fact, their two cmj shows in october were their first east coast ventures according to Cosentino at her Monster Island show)
enjoy the fuzzy cali lo-fi/pop:

"something in the way"


"the sun was high(so was i)"


"make you mine"


"in my room"(pseudo beach boys cover)
