Best Coast will release The Only Place, the follow-up to their celebrated 2010 debut Crazy For You, on May 15th. The set will include 11 new tracks dealing with “self-doubt” and “uncertainty,” according to frontwoman Beth Cosentino. Other than that, the album is also (obviously) inspired by Best Coast’s home state of California. That’s the artwork up above, and you can find the tracklist below:
