when i last saw bethany cosentino (sans snacks, sadly), she and her band took me by surprise by how tight and fine tuned they were, miles away from the sleepy seafoam rock of their debut album crazy for you.
well the trio took to jimmy fallon to perform their hit “boyfriend” and did they ever slam it out of the park. consentino, ever enthused delivered spot on vocals and looked pretty damn cute in a geometric dress. way to go nathan williams. fuckin’ lucky slacker.

this was an awkward collaboration for the get go, and now i know why i wasn’t looking forward to it. for the most part, i enjoy vampire weekend, cudi and best coast as three separate entities and definitely feel that they should’ve never tried to cross paths. this is for that converse campaign or wtfever.

bethany cosentino gets a little more hi-fi on this, a new song from her upcoming debut as best coast. apparently the song can also be heard in the xbox series “bright falls”, the prequal to alan wake. none of that last bit made any sense to me as i’m still playing sonic 2 on my iphone. the xbox is not my deal.
