Always Tomorrow by Best Coast

Always Tomorrow, Best Coast's fourth album, came out on Concord on February 21, 2020, their first in five years, since California Nights in 2015. The Los Angeles duo of Bethany Cosentino and Bobb Bruno had long since moved on from the lo-fi fuzz of Crazy for You toward a cleaner, brighter sound, and here they push it all the way into sunlit, big-chorus rock.

Cosentino writes and sings with a directness that cuts through the gloss, and Bruno's guitars shimmer and chime around her like California light off a windshield. "For the First Time", "Everything Has Changed" and "Different Light" all came out ahead of the album, and "Everything Has Changed" was the one that took off on the countdowns. They hit the road to support it in February 2020, and it turned out to be the last Best Coast album before Cosentino put the band on hiatus in 2023 to go solo.
