Pre-order the brand new Best Coast album 'The Only Place' directly from Wichita Recordings here: http://shop.wichita-recordings.com/Bundle.aspx. 

On May 14, 2012, Best Coast will release their highly anticipated new album The Only Place. This follow-up to 2010’s acclaimed Crazy For You finds the proudly Southern Californian duo of Bethany Cosentino and Bobb Bruno maturing in both their sound and perspective. While Crazy For You was a nostalgic tribute to teenage feelings, The Only Place finds front woman Cosentino starting a transition into adulthood. “I’m trying really hard to grow up,” she says. “I’m trying to let go of my bad habits and the immature things I still drag around with me.” Of course this adjusting comes with uncertainty and self-doubt, two feelings at the emotional center of an album that also features a love song to her home state of California in the title track. All encompassed in the memorable album cover, derived from a 1913 sheet music illustration paying homage to the golden state.
As with all of Best Coast’s previous recordings, on The Only Place Cosentino handles all songwriting, lyrics, vocals and rhythm guitar, while multi-instrumentalist Bobb Bruno plays lead guitar, bass and drums. What’s new this time is their decision to work with producer and composer Jon Brion. A revered figure in the music world, Brion has collaborated with artists including Fiona Apple and Kanye West and created the scores for such films as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind  and Punch-Drunk Love. Recorded at Capitol Records’ famed Studio B, The Only Place features a cleaner and richer sound than other Best Coast releases. Many of the songs’ arrangements are detailed with subtle percussion and unexpected instrumentation. Intricate but never overworked, the biggest change from previous releases is how it showcases Cosentino’s voice, this time letting it ring clear, unhidden by distortion and reverb.

THE BILINDA BUTCHERS - THE LOVERS' SUICIDE! 
INSPIRED BY THE SHORT STORY "A STREET SINGER" BY LAFCADIO HEARN

With graying clouds hanging over me
Oh, I cannot, I cannot breathe
Your pale face behind bars, my heart sinks
Sold to this house for the use of men
Oh, your young heart, I wish I could mend
But instead, I'll pretend, I'll pretend

So close your eyes, close your eyes
'Cause in our dreams, in our dreams
In our dreams
Lovers' suicide

With last sen in pocket I turn to you
A painted rain dragon, the scent of bamboo
Sake drips from your lips when you say,
when you say our love is true
So where do we go? Where do we go?
Like a flower, I can't bloom in the snow
We can't hide, we can't grow

So close your eyes, close your eyes
'Cause in our dreams, in our dreams
In our dreams
Lovers' suicide

---------

AN EXCERPT FROM LAFCADIO HEARN'S "A STREET SINGER"

"In the first ward of Nichi-Hommachi,
in far famed Osaka
- O the sorrow of this tale of shinju!
"Tamayone, aged nineteen,
- to see her was to love her,
for Takejiro, the young workman.
"For the time of two lives they exchange mutual vows
- O the sorrow of loving a courtezan!
"On their arms they tattoo a Raindragon,
and the character 'Bamboo'
- thinking never of the troubles of life.....
"But he cannot pay the fifty-five yen for her freedom -
O the anguish of Takejiro's heart!
"Both then vow to pass away together,
since never in this world can they become husband and wife.
"Trusting to her comrades for incense and for flowers
- O the pity of their passing like dew!
"Tamoyone takes the wine-cup filled with water only,
in which those about to die pledge to each other....
"O the tumult of the lovers' suicide!
- o the pity of their lives thrown away!"

THE LOVERS' SUICIDE!
