My opus through the catalog of Best Coast continues. I just did some Wikipedia browsing and found out the group is actually a duo, comprised of songwriter, guitarist and vocalist Bethany Cosentino and guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Bobb Brin.
They create such a tapestried sound for two people! As for the tone of the music, it runs from sugar-dusted melancholy to glamorous ennui to tentative hope. Any potential brooding that might ensue, however, is leavened by momentary visitations of punk-y three-chord riffs and surfy soundscapes paying homage to California's coastal culture.
My song of the day is "In My Eyes" by Best Coast, off the duo's 2015 album California Nights.
