Hey, it’s another Best Coast song about the sun and summer breezes! Via Gorilla Vs. Bear, of course.
Mexican Summer have announced a special split 7” for Wavves and Best Coast’s upcoming “Summer Is Forever” tour. Available only at merch tables between a January 21 stop in San Diego and a February 26 show in San Francisco, it features a pair of exclusive tracks that’ll also be dropped in a digital iTunes sampler alongside previously released songs from both artists and their opening act No Joy.

When we sent Apache Beat singer Ilirjana Alushaj over to A-Trak’s Brooklyn apartment to talk about the year’s top singles, we expected the discerning ear of a world class DJ. And we got just that. What he liked and loathed from self-titled’s carefully curated playlist might surprise you, though…

Best Coast’s Bethany Cosentino has scored her first major cover story: an LA Weekly feature that hits stands on Thursday. The paper couldn’t wait to publish one passage, however: an exchange about her recent session with Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo.
“We were on our last tour,” explains Cosentino, “And my manager Adam called me and said, ‘Rivers wants you to come into a studio when you get back to L.A. and write a song with him.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, my god, OK—it’s Rivers from Weezer, which is obviously a band I grew up listening to and a band that’s influenced me.
She continues, “Honestly, I went in, recorded a song with him in one day and it was one of the most…for something that I got so stressed out and anxious about, it ended up being so natural, and it happened, and the song is really great.”
That song is called “Go Away,” and you can read more about it here.

Is it just us, or is the following Best Coast premiere essentially a Taylor Swift song for girls in Ghost World glasses—the “You Belong With Me” of the indie rock set? Either way, our favorite part has to be where frontwoman Bethany Cosetino admits she’s a dropout and this other chick has a college degree. Snap, girl…snap!
Mark our words: as mind-numbingly simple as it is, this will be one of the summer’s driving-with-your-top-down anthems, a perfect pairing for King of the Beach, the new album from Cosetino’s real boyfriend—or so we’ve heard—Wavves frontman Nathan Williams.
Best Coast’s long-awaited debut album, Crazy For You, drops on Mexican Summer July 27. If you’ve ever been burned on over-priced B.C. singles ($30 for a 7-inch of lo-fi Shangri-La-isms? really?), the vinyl version can now be pre-ordered here.
