Best Coast announce new album, California Nights

Best Coast are going major label. Following the release of last year’s Fade Away, the Los Angeles duo of Bethany Costentino and Bobb Bruno have announced a new album titled California Nights (which seems entirely in character for the group), their first for Harvest. The album — their third, since Fade Away is recognized as a “mini-album” — will be released on May 5, and the band has released a new teaser video for the album, which you can watch below.

Based on the music in the teaser, it would seem that Best Coast is aiming toward a more ambitious and moody sound on this one, and it’s only fitting that the band make a leap forward now that they’ve got major label backing. The band has also announced a show tomorrow night (Feb. 19) at The Echo in L.A. No other tour dates have been announced, but there’s a good probability that more shows are in the band’s future.
