As their debut 'Crazy for You' turns 10, Best Coast reflect on the weirdness of sudden fame, working with Drew Barrymore, and outgrowing the LP's lovelorn themes
The first time I listened to it all the way through was maybe like a week ago. The big thing that they talked about at the time was just how slow our songs were, but I never felt like they were. But our reference was doing stuff in my bedroom. When we recorded it, I remember we were in a real studio. Even though we did it in maybe less than two weeks’ time, it felt like a luxury.
Tell me a little bit about what inspired the album’s lyrics. For me, all the angst about romance brings me back to when the record came out — when I was in my twenties in Brooklyn.Well, at the time, I was predominantly listening to Sixties girl groups. Those songs were all written from this lovelorn, “I just want him to be my guy — he can treat me like shit, but I’ll love him anyway” perspective. That was honestly a bit problematic, but at the same time, I was so inspired by the sound.
On the other hand, imagine yourself at 22 getting famous — like out of nowhere, not expecting it to happen — and having this persona that you had at the age of 22 sticking with you. To this day people are like, “Cats and weed and California!” and I’m fucking 33 years old now. That’s something I’ve been thinking a lot — realizing that this is coming up on a decade [since the debut]. Like, holy shit, it’s just so different — not just the politics and the environment but the way that music comes out and artists are discovered, the way that records are digested.
