Best Coast - Crazy For You

iTunes says that this album is "Surf Pop", and that's not a bad start: fuzzy-edged jangle, mostly two to three minute (the longest of the record's 13 songs is 3:02, the shortest 1:43) summertime pop with just the slightest hints of shadows at the edges. Radio single "Boyfriend" is representative - a rollercoastering, summer-hazy ditty which quickly grabs the attention but doesn't have the melodies or depth to really stick with the listener afterwards...two songs stand out, and do stay in the mind: the slower, heavier, JAMC-meets-Breeders-by-way-of-the-Concretes sulk of "Honey", and the catchy "When I'm With You", which boasts easily the best tune on the album.
