Best Coast + Wavves - Summer Is Forever


In the middle of another horrible New York winter, there are few sentiments I can behind more so than 'Summer Is Forever'. California groups Best Coast and Wavves are touring together, and as celebration they have released a split single under that title.

The single features one new song from each group, as well as a sampler track from each of their 2010 records, Best Coast's Crazy for You and Wavves' King of the Beach.


New Wavves cut "Stained Glass (Won't You Let Me Into Your Heart)" kinda sounds like Wavves doing a groovy MGMT song - what's there for me to not like?


New Best Coast tune "When You Wake Up" is super catchy - after a few listens, it has firmly lodged itself into my brain. "It's always 11:30...when you wake up."


The collection closes with "Hawaii", from tour openers No Joy. It's the first I've ever heard of the group, sounds pretty good.

Summer Is Forever is available now on iTunes.
