My 100 Favourite Albums of 2010
#8 Best Coast - Crazy for You
Basically, this sounds like what we’d get if the dude from Wavves’ girlfriend decided to release her own album of reverb-drenched surf rock. Oh right, that is what happened [quality writing - I know]. Whilst I still think it pales in comparison to King of the Beach, it is, in its own right, a rather excellent album.
As with that aforementioned album, Crazy for You is all about two things: weed, and self-doubt. However, whilst Wavves guy’s self-doubt concentrates primarily on his own juvenility and inadequacy as a human being, Best Coast girl is all about relationship paranoia. There’s always some smarter, prettier girl to steal the boy away from her. Anyway, it’s great.
