Best Coast Announce Tour

Mexican Summer announces Best Coast's upcoming headlining national tour in support of their debut album Crazy For You. The record is currently available for pre-order with special limited edition fun BC products at mexicansummer.com/bestcoastpreorder. The pre-order page bears golden packaged options like "The Snacks Super Bundle" where you can receive "Crazy For You" limited colored vinyl, tote bag, tee shirt, stickers, and an advanced stream of the entire album (available until July 13th).

Best Coast's tour kicks off this week in Toronto with appearances at NXNE and will continue throughout the summer with support from The Cults and Male Bonding. Additionally, Best Coast will be making appearances at many of the summer's top festivals including Pitchfork Music Festival, New York's South Street Seaport and many more.

California's Bethany Cosentino and Bobb Bruno, aka Best Coast will release "Crazy For You" on July 27th. The recordis a 12-track, twenty-nine minute collection of genuinely romantic sandy jams. Hazy, dreamy and genre-defining, Crazy For You proves that the impressive amount of press hype for Best Coast is more than warranted, especially coming off of her previous sold out singles on Group Tightener, Atelier Cuseaux, Art Fag, Black Iris, PPM and Eskuche.

The band's much-awaited debut album was recorded at Black Iris, a studio in LA's Echo Park neighborhood, by Lewis Pesacov of the bands Fool's Gold and Foreign Born. The result is a collection of maudlin and magical songs that approach relationships with a pure heart, a cloudy mind and pair of gas station sunglasses.

None of the songs on "Crazy for You" were previously released on the earlier 7-inches. For the album's sessions Cosentino brought in a collection of demos she had never sent to Bruno. "I wanted the record to be something completely fresh and new," says Cosentino. "I just felt like my first record needed to be really special."

With an exciting press embrace, and an aggressive touring schedule, Best Coast are bound to be a memorable and important act starting in Summer 2010 and imminent adventures onwards.
