The opening half of I Don’t Know How, taken from Best Coast’s upcoming mini-LP (EP?) Fade Away, showcases Bethany Cosentino’s finest vocal performance to date over a dreamy throwback to dreamy arpeggio-tinged classic pop. It’s enough to warrant a pass for the overly pedestrian lyrical content. But then it switches things up midway with up-tempo garage-pop drums without varying the vocal dynamic. It’s listenable, but it’s a case of Cosentino more or less playing the same hand to rake in diminishing returns each year since Best Coast’s breakthrough.
