"What is life?" asks Bethany Cosentino on "So Unaware." For real,http://www.sjtotal.dk/farve.php?real-madrid-hjemme-troje-2015-16-born, girl? Existential inquiry is an unexpected avenue for a songwriter who made her name with 2009's "Sun Was High (So Was I)" and other beachy anthems about battling romantic blues with garage-pop melodies and bubblegum kush. On her band's third album,http://movilshopcr.com/wp-walker.php?kengat/urheilukengat/jalkapallokengat/tekonurmi/sivu-4/, it seems that coping mechanism isn't working so well anymore. Her solution? Double down on hooks,http://www.jocko.dk/dressred.php?fodtoj/sko/mercurial-victory-cr7-sko-born, harmonies and wall-of-sound effects; own your darkness; power through.
It mostly works. "Fine Without You" and "In My Eyes" layer Cosentino's voice into a mighty punk-pop army that sounds a little like the cheerleaders from the "Smells Like Teen Spirit" video formed a glee club. On "Sleep Won't Ever Come,http://limgclub.com/wp-walker.php?Maradona-Pelipaita-Napoli-2013-2014-Koti," girl-group doo-wop vocals bring insomnia to vivid life over bandmate Bobb Bruno's heat-mirage guitar. "Heaven Sent" is a spectacular cyborg-anime update of the Go-Go's. Except for the unusual title track an extended dream-pop reverie about wanting to get lower,https://www.lrapshop.com/fantversion.php?show/produkt/709901780-Adidas-Chelsea-Erw.htm, not higher there's a sugar-crusted sameness to the songs that can occasionally wear thin. But as with Best Coast's beloved Ramones,http://www.humancap.nl/galerie.asp?la-liga-barcelona-truien-goedkope-24_32.html, you could also call it consistency. Either way,http://www.isolatiefabriek.nl/single.asp?barcelona-thuisshirt-minikits-2014-15-p-635.html, it's a pretty glorious sound. California Nights ends with "Wasted Time" and the refrain "Just wish that I had something to show for it." This album is evidence that Cosentino does.相关的主题文章:
