Crazy for You
Uncoated LP jacket with full color printed inner sleeve on black 140 gram vinyl.
California's Bethany Cosentino delivers on the promise of her noisy early singles with a richer-sounding album that highlights the power of her voice.
Not since The Psychedelic Furs’ self-titled debut has a record been as single-minded in sound and subject matter as Best Coast’s first LP, Crazy For You. The Los Angeles indie-rock band fuses the minor-key moodiness of early-’80s post-punk with the boy-crazy coo of ’60s girl-groups, in service of songs that shuffle…
The songs they record as Best Coast are straight-ahead verse-chorus tunes influenced by various strains of pop and rock from the '70s onward (doo wop, garage rock, girl groups, early punk, '90s indie rock), played without frills and sung super-earnestly.
Doyenne of the latterday LA rock scene Bethany Cosentino maps out an esoterically pleasing, scuzzy take on girl-group pop on her endearing debut album, writes <strong>Will Dean</strong>
