Rating: 7 happy couples out of 10
Like most red-blooded Americans, you put a cartoon picture of a vomiting cat on the cover of your record and you've got my attention. It looks like the real-life couple of Nathan Williams (Wavves) and Bethany Cosentino (Best Coast) decided they would make record sex and put out a split EP, and here it is. It's a good release - all of the songs get a thumbs up, particularly the first track by each band - "King of the Beach" by Wavves and "Crazy for You" by Best Coast. Though both of those songs are not only featured on their latest albums they are also the title tracks, so I'm not sure why they got released again. Money is money, as the kids say. I think some kids say that at least.
Oh, and there's also a No Joy song at the end of the EP which I am completely indifferent about.
