The Only Place by Best Coast
The Only Place is an album by Best Coast, released in 2012. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 7 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “The Only Place”, on 7 lists with a best position of #55.
The Only Place, Best Coast's second album, came out on Mexican Summer on May 15, 2012, and it's the sound of a lo-fi duo walking into a proper studio and liking the view. The surprise success of Crazy for You had turned Bethany Cosentino and Bobb Bruno's world upside down, and they answered by ditching the tape hiss: Jon Brion produced, and the sessions ran at Capitol Studios in Los Angeles.
The fuzz is gone and the sunshine is turned all the way up. Jangling guitars, bright pop-rock hooks and Cosentino's voice right out front, with vintage country twang and a serious Fleetwood Mac crush woven through it. Most critics came away happy, though the shiny new production itself was the thing reviewers argued over.
