California Nights Reviews

English countries call them "one trick pony" are the characteristics, those who know how to do one thing, those that have a distinctive strong, like certain animals that respond to a single command.
l Best Coast, in reality, to have two tricks. The first is to put the California, everywhere: in titles, in the atmosphere, on the covers, in the references. The second is to make a specific kind of song, and only that, to repeat: guitars and melodies solar.
The third album by the duo of Los Angeles is no exception: look at the cover, read the title, and heard "Heaven sent", the first single: a power-pop perfect, with a progression that recalls the Go-Go's, the Bangles, the jingle-jangle, and all that world of songs buried by the guitars of the '80s (Jesus & Mary Chain) and 90s (the shoegaze).
The duo's third album is a culmination of the previous ones: the walls of guitars of the first album, and the sonic clarity of "The only place". They left behind the attitude a bit 'low-fi, early, and the more rarefied atmosphere of their second album, with a partial return from the EP already marked "Fade away".
The result? In 43 minutes and broke the record, it seems often to hear the same song loop. But, contrary to what one might think, it is a good feeling. Because, as good "one trick pony", that play Bethany Cosentino and Bobb Bruno know how to do to perfection.
When they go out a bit 'from these tracks, it is even better: "California nights" is slower and psychedelic, with its 5 minutes and passes: the best time of the album, along with "Heaven sent". But it is only a momentary diversion, because the next time you will return to the former pattern. Only the final "Wasted time" was minimal and evocative.
"California nights" is a pleasant drive, just as some pop to women known to be: a perfect listening for the arrival of warm, dreaming of California even if you are sunbathing on the new dock in Milan, or anywhere else Italy.
