Check out a full stream of the new Best Coast album The Only Place over at NPR.  The Only Place sees Best Coast traveling down a bit of a more introspective and darker road, even though that road still is bathed in California sunshine.  Best Coast’s first album Crazy for You was simple happy beach pop, but with The Only Place, it appears that Best Coast is more willing to tackle some of the struggles of life through the lens of a cheery pop backing.
