Best Coast - The Only Place

The Only Place, the second album from Best Coast, arrives in about two months, and it should be a pretty fascinating listen. Noted sound-layering maestro Jon Brion produced the thing, which means it will sound a whole lot different from Crazy For You, Best Coast’s charismatic-but-thin debut. And Bethany Cosentino herself has referred to the album as “emo,” which could mean a whole lot of different things. That pretty-awesome picture above is the album’s cover art. Below, we’ve got the tracklist, as well as Best Coast’s extensive list of upcoming tour dates.

  1. So cats are out and huggy bears are in? Ugh, now I have to edit all my memes…

  2. Based on those tour dates, that bear should be hugging Texas. Wowee!

  3. Well. Up All Night is the only Best Coast song I have ever cared about. So seeing that on there is very exciting. I remember Stereogum posting it a long time ago, and it was one of my favorite songs of 2010.

  4. “Best” Coast, The “Only” Place, and now that artwork? I think she’s launching a Soviet-style propaganda campaign for California, you guys. Probably in cahoots with Puro Instinct…

  5. If the titles are any indication, the lyrical content hasn’t appeared to change much.

  6. bears are fucking sellouts
