Make You Mine (Reissue)

VINYL FORMAT. Pressed on colored vinyl and housed in new gatefold sleeves with additional artwork. Former Pocahaunted member Bethany Cosentino (aka Best Coast) embodies California. Her songs are effortlessly ramshackle, layers of fuzzed guitar and a voice with enough heft and soul that it brings to mind 1950s girl soul groups or even a female-centric Beach Boys. There's also a sense of permanent longing, an inescapable melancholy that can only come from living near the beach, perpetually sunny but a little sad too. Her four-song Make you Mine 7-inch was recorded with longtime friend Bobb Bruno, and is packed with enough hooks and gorgeous melodies to fill an entire album. It is Group Tightener's first release.
