California Nights by Best Coast
California Nights is an album by Best Coast, released in 2015. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 11 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Feeling OK”, on 4 lists with a best position of #39.
California Nights, Best Coast's third album, landed on Harvest on May 1, 2015, and it's the Los Angeles duo at their most widescreen, with the shadows turned up. Bethany Cosentino, who writes the songs, sings and plays guitar, and multi-instrumentalist Bobb Bruno worked with producer Wally Gagel, who had also handled their 2013 EP Fade Away, and Cosentino has said the idea was to dig into the darkness hiding under LA's shiny surface: songs that sound fun and upbeat without always being so.
So the guitars are huge and fuzzed-out, the choruses glide, and the mood keeps curdling underneath. The hazy title track led the way, "Feeling OK" is a bright, bittersweet shrug of a single, and "In My Eyes" went out to alternative radio early in 2016 as the fourth single, well after the album's release.
