Best Coast are going on an indefinite hiatus, and principal songwriter Bethany Cosentino is going solo. Today, Cosentino has announced that she’ll be releasing her debut album, Natural Disaster, on July 28th via Concord Records, and has also unveiled the album’s first single, “It’s Fine.”
Since hitting the scene 13 years ago with their seminal debut, Crazy for You, Best Coast have been a mainstay of the reverb-washed, lo-fi-inspired, indie generation. In a statement, Cosentino explained that the time had come for the duo — her and Bobb Bruno — to move onto the next stage of their artistic lives.
“My identity as a human being, and as an artist, has been so wrapped up in Best Coast for over a decade,” she wrote. “The decision to pause the project indefinitely, and explore a new side of myself, was a very difficult one to make — but it felt necessary for me.

On the heels of celebrating 10 years of their debut Crazy for You, Best Coast’s Bethany Cosentino hit The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Thursday to perform “Rollercoaster,” off of the band’s new album Always Tomorrow.
Due to the pandemic, Cosentino performed the track at home, accompanied only by her electric guitar. The image harks back to how the band got its start, writing and recording songs in bandmate Bobb Bruno’s bedroom. “Our reference was doing stuff in my bedroom,” Bruno told Rolling Stone about recording their debut 10 years back.

Best Coast acknowledge that they became popular almost by accident. “We really had no aspirations at all,” multi-instrumentalist Bobb Bruno tells Rolling Stone. “We’ve always said: ‘A band could not have tried less to actively become a successful band than us.'”
The world into which the duo dropped its debut album, Crazy for You, seemed uniquely primed for Best Coast’s hazy indie-rock aesthetic. It was 2010, the heyday of blog buzz and blissed-out tunes. Times were also simpler, in comparison to 2020 at least: Obama was in the White...

A decade after Best Coast released their indie-pop breakthrough “Sun Was High (and So Was I),” the band has cleaned up its act. Four years have passed since its last LP, California Nights, and frontwoman Bethany Cosentino has sobered up and turned her life around. It’s a commendable feat, but since she is the type of songwriter who sticks to what she knows, her struggles to maintain her new drug-and-alcohol-free mindset also preoccupy almost all of the songs on Always Tomorrow. It quickly becomes a same-y blur, especially when...

Best Coast have released a new song, “Different Light,” from their upcoming LP Always Tomorrow, out February 21st.
The single touches on being confident in your own world view while accepting the POVs of others. “Honestly, I want for everyone what’s happenin’ to me/I have to remember to stay on my side of the street,” sings Bethany Cosentino. “Hell has many mansions and yours could still be incomplete/Who am I to judge if you still see things in a different light?”
“Different Light” is the third song...
