Best Coast, Beach House, Tenacious d [week's Top Releases]

Some of the best summer singers are releasing this week, with sophomore efforts form both Beach House and Best Coast – so get your bathing suites ready folks. It’s time to lie out in the sun and listen to these smooth jams of summer.

Myth – Beach House // Buy

We fell in love with the relaxed, gauzy sounds of Beach House (@beaccchhoussse) with Teen Dream, and the release of Bloom seems as though it’ll cement them as one of our favorites. The album has been streaming for a while now, and every single song sounds just as amazing as the last. It’s luscious, gigantic music — just how we like it.

Their first album, Crazy for You, was a garage pop gem. The fuzzy guitars and lyrics about boyfriends and weed made for the perfect warm weather jams. Lucky for us, Best Coast (@bestycoastyy) is keeping with the LA infused, endless summer theme for The Only Place, though early listens show Bethany Consentino as little older and a little wiser. The sounds of summer that made them famous are still there — just fewer cats and less weed.

Everyone’s favorite acoustic metal parody band is back — with more acoustic metal! A little light heartedness is always necessary, but Tenacious D (@tenaciousd_) also makes songs that are as catchy as anything, with some great punch lines to boot. Let’s hope Rize of the Fenix offers something as classic as “Fuck Her Gently”.
