Bethany Cosentino, songwriter, vocalist and overall public face of her band Best Coast, recently collaborated on a song called “All Summer” with Kid Cudi and Vampire Weekend’s Rostam Batmanglij. “All year long we wait for sun /At the beach we come undone,” she sings, her honey-colored voice steady amid church bells and pulsating beats. Along with Bobb Bruno and Ali Koehler (formerly of Vivian Girls), Cosentino’s vocals have a more central role in their first album, “Crazy for You,” but the focus on summer, sun and love remain the predominant themes. With Cosentino’s sun-drenched voice, a constant presence over simple percussion and guitar riffs, Best Coast creates a lo-fi, surf-pop sound that brings to mind a fading summer romance, making theirs a perfect show to begin the fall anew.

Doors for the Gargoyle’s 18+ show open at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 14. Tickets are free with a Wash. U. ID and $10 for the public. Male Bonding will kick off the show at 8 p.m.
