West Coast Time

Michelle Branch

Sun-faded pop rock with a distinct California twang. A lost collection of driving rhythms and breathy vocals designed for the golden hour.

Find on Amazon

The best pop-rock album of 2011 that the label never let you buy.

A sun-drenched blend of California optimism and the quiet ache of looking back.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive, anthemic chorus of Loud Music that feels like a summer radio hit from a parallel timeline.
The gentle, twangy slide guitar that introduces West Coast Time, grounding the album in its titular geography.
The way the vocals layer into a lush, choral wash during the bridge of Smoke and Feathers.
