This sounds like something that would have been all over the radio in the 90s. Super catchy.

 

Into the song. Excited to check out the album

 

Fun tune, very Sheryl Crow esq.

 

Like this more than anything from the last two Best Coast albums.

 

Had me at produced by Butch Walker

 

I’m excited to hear the full album

 

Pretty cool song

 

haven't loved the last few best coast records but this is cool

 

Like this song

 

the vinyl is beautiful, the song is good. a few more songs that I love and I'll preorder from her for the first time!

 

none of the singles have grabbed me like its fine

 

Listened this morning and I really like it. Easily better than the last two Best Coast albums.

 

There's something really cool about Calling On Angels

 

Bethany Cosentino: Natural Disaster

:/

 

This Tweet has caused a ton of discourse on the app

 

What discourse? Anyone who takes issue with that tweet is a straight up geek

 

Okay so I dug a bit deeper and I guess Jenny Lewis made a tweet about Pitchfork reviewers being too harsh which was presumably sparked by the review for this album, and the discourse was mostly about that instead of what Bethany tweeted, but Jenny deleted the tweet. I’ll try and see if I can find a screenshot of it.

 

No comment on what the tweeter said (I haven’t read the review in full yet), but here is a screenshot:

 

honestly bethany's original tweet was bullshit, it was a completely well-written review by one of pitchfork's best. jenny's response is just ... baffling? the album before this most recent one she got an 8.0 and wasn't complaining and then to tweet this immediately after saying "fuck pitchfork" in another tweet is weird lol

 

positioning yourself as an "indie artist" on Capitol Records with the same label Miles Davis was on is wild too lol. like come on.

 

On the 24 Question Party People/Bandsplain podcast with guest Stephen Jenkins, the host brought up how they and Bethany talked about how mean/critical Pitchfork is and Jenkins, noted unfunny d-bag who writes killer alt-rock songs, actually had a funny reaction, stopping the host to point out how Best Coast is actually a rare example of a band that has been well-reviewed by Pitchfork.
