Best Coast announce new album, ' The Only Place' and Canadian tour dates

by Nicole Villeneuve

We’ve been waiting for this one for a little while now, especially since learning that Jon Brion would be producing, and now some details are available.

Best Coast will release the follow up to their unexpected breakthrough 2010 debut Crazy for You with The Only Place on May 15.

If you think that cover art and title is meant to be a nod to singer Bethany Cosentino’s home state California, you guessed right—it was inspired by a piece of sheet music from 1913.

Best Coast have also announced spring and summer tour dates, stopping in Vancouver, Montreal, and Toronto. Full dates and album track list are below.
