Do Make Say Think, Live at The Scala, London.

Originally this project was called “sun dried” but then i realized that reminded me too much of old ladies with bad sunburns so i changed it to best coast.

This is brilliant. I love it so much, I even love the cheesy Temecula Sunrise, “and what hits the spot yeah, like Gatorade, you and me baby”. Help me. Or, pre-order from Domino and suffer singing along to it yourself.
