Fade Away
FADE AWAY, out October 22, the first release on Bethany Cosentino's Jewel City label, sets Best Coast off on a new burst of independence and creativity. And it reflects the increased confidence that Cosentino and her band mate, multi-instrumentalist Bobb Bruno, gained in the three surreal years since their break-through album CRAZY FOR YOU. Celebrated as darlings of the lo-fi, it lead to defiantly hi-fi events like performing with childhood idols, Green Day and No Doubt, dueting with Kendrick Lamar and Iggy Pop, having Drew Barrymore direct their Chloe Moretz-starring video, creating a new collection for Urban Outfitters, and working with the widescreen producer Jon Brion, who's overseen master-pieces by Kanye West and Fiona Apple on an album that made Rolling Stone and Spin Magazines Top Albums of 2012. Best Coast has taken the best elements of their previous records and combined them with more guitar, more conviction, and a louder more energized feel than ever before. They took complete ownership of their sound and their direction with a determined focus on who they are and who they want to be.
