really late to the game on this one, it's nice, although a little forgettable.

Oh I can't wait to hear Best Coast go "emo," aided by Jon fucking Brion. Jesus fucking christ.

do you really hate jon brion or?

i don't know that "some punk girl sings shangri-la-esque guitar jams with harmonies & ~guitar effects~!" would have sounded so alluring. one of the nicest parts of her record was our deal; i am into some slow jams.

jon brion is totally awful

Maybe I'm just a philistine but I can't tell how this new album is going to sound any different from the previous one

well, if i had to venture a guess, i'd say that it will sound different because jon brion will find a way to put some dorky keyboard bullshit all over it.

Hahaha

He just better not fuck with the OOOOOOOOsss

apparently there are less OOOOOOOOOOOsss on this record

As long as they are OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOs and not the annoying OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWAAAA she was singing live last time I saw them.

If I were her producer, I would do away with the WAAA part of the OOOOOOOOO. Keep it pure, y'know?

I totally didn't recognize that the dude was Brion's longtime tech/roadie. Different haircut, I guess.

as long as the keybs are covered in hiss i'm down

Anticipation for this record is bringing out my inner Mike Love. I don't want them to fuck with the formula. There better be plenty of cat and weed references and at least 8 combined minutes of OOOOOOOOO.

whenever I hear them it only makes me wish that amy linton or linton was not retired or designing houses or whatever.

The title track is now available for free download. The California tourism board will be very pleased. I'm going to have to give it a few more listens, but I'm not happy about no cats/pot/ooooooooos. The production makes it very easy to understand the lyrics, which could be a problem.

look what i found tonight:

I think the band's alright but reading this makes me realize I pretty much have the exact same thought every time I give them a listen.

what the hell, this is like a gimme for whinehate™

wasn't into the first single, maybe I'll check out the second if they release a video. liked their first few 7" a lot.

Can we talk about this record? All my worst fears are confirmed. No pot, cats or ooooooh.

i really dislike the sound, it's bizarrely muffled and tubby with harsh resonances all at the same time

makes it difficult to focus on the not-bad songs, despite their cat-free qualities

I actually kind of like this new one, I was subjected to it while browsing at a bookstore. Her lyrics are still awful and rhymes painfully obvious, but I think Brion's production kind of fits it. I don't love it or anything, but it wasn't as terrible as everyone is trying to claim.

is this the record that will finally let everyone know how terrible jon brion is?

i mean the songs are no great shakes but my god

no no no it's terrible xp

didn't realise it was a brion thing, i think his ego might have taken over his ears

i don't really have deep evidence to back this up but everything i've ever knowingly heard that he's been involved with has sounded really, really bad

dude has more vintage wank equipment than vincent gallo and this is the sound he gets? he should be drawn and quartered

haha

posts very much in character /\/\/\\/\

Almost afraid to stick my head over the trench here but Bachelor No. 1 was great and that was a Brion joint i think.

bachelor no. 1 is......ok and not because of him

The production isn't helping her at all. Plus She has a tendency to draw out the last syllable of every line which makes the banality of her rhymes even more glaring.

yeah i wanna withdraw whatever "maybe it'll be good! jon brion isn't so bad is he?" remarks i made earlier itt. she should do super early-eps fuzzy stuff or should go all out & do the full band fleetwood mac thing that some of these songs want. it sounds so clean and terrible, with its little jaunty indie movie drumming.

some of the songs are okay though.

I was going to pick it up earlier this week, but the shop had the new Sinead on LP so I grabbed that instead, trusting my gut vs my hipster elbow..anyway I think I can safely say I've already clocked more hours with "How About I Be Me (And You Be You)" then I have clocked with any album with the words Coast, Best, Bells or Broken in it...funny thing about Sinead is she can still write a smoking tune despite being obviously mad as shit...I know, this is not a Sinead Mad as Shit or Still Writing Bangers thread, but it is all I got....
NP: Dr Dee

im into this 1
