Best Coast

Best Coast continues to create some of the best garage pop.

The songs by Bethany Cosentino and Bobb Bruno are always refreshing and memorable.

The 7-song EP Fade Away will be out later this month.

All 7 are wonderful. Listen to two here: the first single “I Don’t Know How” and my current fave “Who Have I Become?”

“I Don’t Know How”
