Best Coast - Sun Was High (So Was I)

Our single of the week (4th June 2010)

Sun Was High (So Was I) by Best Coast

4...according to our on Thu 03 Jun, 2010.

I'm surprised this title's not been used before especially with all the medical marijuana that's being consumed in American indie rock circles nowadays. Anyway, cheeky stoner title aside, this is a fantastic slice of what you'd expect from Best Coast; blissed out, lo-fi indie pop with surfy/spaced out overtones. It's a simple refrain-based repeato riff with a vocal hook that really nags on the ears in the best possible way. The B-sides opt for a straighter Spectrals, Vivian Girls-esque 50's/60's vocal pop vibe. Think Pocahaunted (obviously) with a stoner party jam slant on it. Totally good.
