Look, Best Coast's Bethany Cosentino was a FADER intern last year. We've established that. But she is now nearing full-on diva status with many, many jams under her belt and many more on the way. We don't even remember that one time she FUCKED UP OUR COFFEE ORDER. JK we don't send interns to get coffee, it's the only time we get outside. But for real, if we had known Bethany, and her bandmate Bobb Bruno, were capable of music this good, we would've fired her instantly. "The people need to hear this!" we would've said as we pushed her out the front door. But we didn't so we just enjoyed her non-musical presence for the short time she was here. And now we enjoy her presence wherever we can find it. Today, that is on Black Iris, the label releasing Best Coast's latest single, both sides of which make us want to move to Tahiti and open an umbrella stand. So good!
