Im getting some road trip with friends vibes from this

Summer 2013 Vol. II

I took a rocket to the moon once, on a night a long time ago
The night I shuttled to the moon was quite a fright and very cold
Look out the window see the Earth disappear 
The shuttle lands and it was clear - I'm on a rock, oh god. 

I suited up and took my first step on the white dirt we see from home.
Seven steps I look behind me to see my shuttle, it had flown. 
I try to run in its direction, make my footprints fly. 
I didn't make the connection. My shuttles home, I'm gonna cry

And the tears in my helmet made it hard to see. 
My head started spinning and my knees were weak
But then my ears didn't fool me,
From not to far, there was a beat,
And then some singing, yeah. 

"You are not alone"
Said the rumble, under my feet.
"I've been so alone, if you walk to me, we can meet."

It was a voice that I'd never heard, but a presence to which I was familiar.
I glide in the direction that the sound drew me. It was a long way, a journey.
The white rocks that were below me started to fight with my feet. 
The moon surface below me started to crack apart into a smile.

It was then that I realized,
I was standing on a face that I'd seen many times.
And then my eyes weren't playing games,
From right below me, there was a smile,
And then some singing, yeah. 

"You are not alone"
Said the rumble, under my feet.
"I've been so alone, if you walk to me, we can meet."
"You are not alone"
Said the rumble, under my feet.
"I've been so alone, it was a matter of time
(matter of time)
For you to save me
(save me)
It was a matter of time
(it was a matter of time)
For you to save me, dooo doo doo dooooo

Do do do

I had become the savior of the man on the moon.
I'd stay to solve his loneliness and not go home soon.
And all we had was this old tune,
In not too long, we'd kill the gloom.

"In the cold and dreary winter of 2009, alone in his bedroom and hidden from the darkness of the world outside Justin Paul Vallesteros had begun working on something that would change his life forever. What began as a couple notes played in experimentation soon transformed into vibrant melodies that soon shook Vallesteros' musical foundation to the core. Guitar chords laced over pulse sating synth melodies and drum rhythms was a departure from Justin's previous work; he began to create the dreamy nostalgic pop music that is Craft Spells. Justin is a California native who now finds residence in the mid-size town of Stockton, the heart of California. Craft Spells is the epitome of the recent uprising of the DIY music scene. Coming from a place not known for its musical history or impact on music culture it seemed destined for Craft Spells to stay as a bedroom pop project with no final destination in sight. But soon the shear amount of blog volume his work began to generate was unimaginable. Sites like Weekly Tape Deck, Pasta Primavera, No Modest Bear and Pitchfork's Forkcast took notice and thus began the never ending worldwide posting and re-posting on blog after blog of Craft Spells. The sound is led by Justin's blissful voice, backed behind beautiful guitar melodies over heavenly synths, pop basslines and looped rhythms. Captured Tracks has released 7" single for the song "Party Talk" and will release the debut LP due out in Spring 2011 called Idle Labor. 2011 is going to be a busy year now that Justin has set up a live band for future touring. Keep a look out for tour dates in Europe and US come the new year. In no time at all, Justin has been able to move out of Dave Brubeck and Pavement's shadow to create something his own which he shares with the ever continuing admiration of the world."

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.

Lyrics:
I’ve seen better days, dripping down your face
We don’t have to talk, let’s dance
For all the times you felt alone, dreaming better
I see better, better days
Too dumb to say goodbye that's some cliché shit, make me wanna cry
Just know that every time I look in your eye, I see better, I see better, better days
 
Try to remember, that you can’t forget
Down with history, up with your head
For sweet tomorrow, she never fell from grace
We might still know sorrow but we got better days
 
I seen better ways, some won’t believe
But I don’t need much more than faith
For all the times you felt alone
Dreaming better, dreaming better, better ways
Too dumb to say goodbye, now that’s some give up shit, make me wanna cry
Just know that every time I look in your eye, I see better, I see better, better days
 
Try to remember, that you can’t forget
Down with history, up with your head
For sweet tomorrow, she never fell from grace
We might still know sorrow but we got better days
 
Better days.
Guess who's back in town.
