.BestCoast’s new album 'Always Tomorrow' tracks Bethany Cosentino's road to sobriety and self-acceptance. Read our Q&A with Cosentino:
were the definition of a hype band. Every cool blog was raving about them, they had A-list actors in their music videos, they toured the world and even Cosentino’s cat became famous. But beyond their sun-soaked, emotional indie rock songs and cloud of fame, Consentino was having trouble dealing with success.
Yeah, absolutely. That line is very much like, “I feel like myself again.” And then there’s a pause and then it’s like, “But for the first time,” because I really don’t think I ever knew who I was. I never really felt comfortable in my skin from a very young age. I think that’s why I did things like run from my problems and use substances as a form of self-medication because I didn’t really know who I was until I went through this really intense, dark period and this journey of soul searching.
I’m so hard on myself! That’s why I laughed because I hear it constantly from my friends, my therapist, my parents. Everybody’s always like, “Don’t be so hard on yourself.” I’m like, “I don’t know how not to, you know?” But for me, what I’ve really been learning over the last few years and what I really feel like I discuss a lot on this record is getting to a place where it’s like, “Yeah, I’ve accepted that I am hard on myself and I’ve accepted that I’m my own worst enemy at times.
I actually look at it in a way of empowerment where I’m like, “Thank God I don’t feel like that anymore and look at what you survived.” Especially now getting ready to go out on tour and learning old songs and doing all this stuff, I can listen to some of those lyrics and I’m like, “Jesus, I was really hurting and I really was just in full denial of it.” And now looking back on it, I’m like, “I have compassion for that person because I understand that that person was suffering in a lot of ways.
