Best Coast

Heard on 1 episode of EKHO Sonic Chill

LA duo Bethany Cosentino and Bobb Bruno, who started in 2009 making fuzzy, sun-bleached lo-fi and grew into widescreen pop. California Nights (2015) was the big-budget swerve, recorded with Wally Gagel. The title track is the outlier even on that record — a slow, narcotic shoegaze crawl Cosentino almost didn't show the band: "I remember sending it to the guys and worrying they might not like it and would think it was too weird." She has pushed back on the obvious reading, saying the song "is about California, but it's also NOT specifically about California." The band went on indefinite hiatus in May 2023.
