Crazy For You, the debut album by lo-fi surf-popsters Best Coast, is a 13-song collection with the coolness of an ocean breeze on an August day.<\/p>\n
With only one song eclipsing the three-minute mark (at a tidy 3:01), Crazy For You zips by, never once asking the listener to think too hard or tangle with complicated arrangements. Instead, Best Coast multi-instrumentalist Bobb Bruno fills tracks with driving guitar and fuzzy beats while lead singer Bethany Cosentino wishes \u201cher cat could talk,\u201d is \u201calways waiting by the phone,\u201d and dreams \u201che was my boyfriend.\u201d<\/p>\n
This is not to say the album is all a vacuous series of lovelorn lyrics. The aforementioned \u201cBoyfriend,\u201d the album\u2019s lead single, may harp on how she wishes he was her guy, but Cosentino later laments that the other girl is indeed prettier, skinnier, and has a college degree. It\u2019s not often that a song of yearning admits the other woman may be the better choice. \u201cSummer Mood,\u201d \u201cHappy,\u201d \u201cEach and Every Day\u201d and \u201cWhen I\u2019m With You\u201d are all great songs despite predictable (yet infectious) tempos.<\/p>\n
Does it become repetitive? Sure. Have you heard it all before? Yep. But none of this keeps you from enjoying what\u2019s here. It\u2019s a carefree compilation of one sunny single after another.<\/p>\n
