New Best Coast Album Looks Set To Be More ‘Grown Up’

In a recent interview with Pitchfork, Best Coast front woman Bethany Cosentino has said that the duo’s second album will be ‘more-grown up’.

Referring to one track in particular, ‘Why I Cry’, she gives a taste of what we can expect from the whole record: ‘It has that thing I love - happy melody, sad lyrics. Seriously, this record is emo - get ready for it.’

Speaking of the differences between their debut and their latest effort, she said:

”Crazy for You’ was written in a very insecure, weird, 22-year old phase in my life. I am proud of those songs and what they say - and I know they were so relatable to so many people, which is really amazing. Most of the songs on this record are more about self-discovery and figuring out who I am. I’m 25 now, and things in my life are much, much different than they were then. This record is really personal - much more personal than ‘Crazy for You’. The songs are mostly about me, what I’ve been through in the last two years, how my life has changed, and what I’ve learned because of it. It’s a very therapeutic record for me - I was able to get a lot off of my chest. Songwriting is the easiest way to do that for me. There are definitely still songs about love, but it’s done in a different way now.’

‘Writing this new record is the first step to the more grown-up me.’

Best Coast - which also features Bobb Bruno - look set to release their second album later this year, after finishing recording with Jon Brion.
