Best Coast, Boyfriend

Best Coast are an American indie duo, formed by Bethany Cosentino (vocals and guitar) and Bobb Bruno (several instruments), somewhere in 2009.
On live performances, the band also counts with the drummer of Vivian Girls Ali Koehler.

They've released two studio records: Crazy For You in 2010 and The Only Place in 2012, both through the American label Mexican Summer and other local labels.

Bethany Cosentino featured a song with Kid Cudi and ROSTAM from Vampire Weekend, on a song All Summer for a Converse add, listen here.

Best Coast released in 2010, their debut album and had as single songs like When I'm With You and Our Deal.
Boyfriend was released has the second single, on October 2010 and was included on an NME's list being  #49 of the 150 tracks of the past 15 years.

On that online article, it's possible to read "classic songwriting tropes featuring an undercurrent of grunge, (...) ‘Boyfriend’ was part teenage longing and part womanly angst (“She’s prettier and skinnier, she got a college degree,”), (...) It was the timeless quality of the track that made it feel like it could have been made at any point during rock and roll’s 60-year history. "

The song's background is clearly about a girl who has a friend that she dreams to be her boyfriend but there's some other girl making it harder. It's so pure, so honest, so real. We can all relate with this story.
Who hasn't feel like this before?


"One day I'll make him mine
And we'll be together all the time
We'll sit and watch the sun rise
And gaze into each others eyes"

Sudoeste TMN 2012 Comment: I was lucky enough to see this band live. I went there without any kind of expectations and without realising I already knew their work. Nevertheless they did a solid show, interacting with the audience and clearly touched with the beautiful sunset. I'm curious about their future because they do have one.
