I got into the band after their initial dissolution, but fell in love with the sounds they made, the mystique they cultivated, the worldviews conveyed in their music and their unique way of filtering classic rock and other influences. I would follow Cracker and the projects that the rest of the ex-CVB members pursued. I was thrilled when CVB started playing some shows with Cracker and then reunited for their own tours and new projects. However, until now, there had not been a new CVB record in over 8 years. So, I've been highly anticipating this record!Hearing the advance release of "Northern California Girls," however, dampened my spirits. That song is over 7 minutes long here and it immediately strikes me as the worst thing I've heard from CVB. But, my fears were overcome upon playing the album (alas!).The album starts with the mellow "Come Down the Coast," which is a really nice track, though perhaps seems out of place as an album opener for CVB. I think it's a really great David Lowery song, though.The two high points on this album are "Someday Our Love Will Sell Us Out" and "Summer Days." "Someday..." seems to bear a strong imprint, musically, from Jonathan Segel. His violin is lovely here, and I wouldn't be surprised if he was also playing the guitar here. David's vocal fits well with the track and the song has a sort of ominous tone. It's an immediate classic, for me.Even better is "Summer Days," which musically sounds more like Greg Lisher and Victor Krummenacher are incorporating their Monks of Doom style playing, with Jonathan Segel making another fine entry on violin. This song really rocks.Some other comments: "Too High For the Love In" is fun. Musically, it sounds great. I get the story that the lyrics are based around, and I think lines like "flying ambulance" are just fun. Perhaps it might sound just like being absurd for the sake of being absurd, though. Still, I like it. It's fun.The album's title track is a nice little country-ish tune, calming but with movement. "Aged in Wood" is a cool little minute, which incorporates sound effects reminiscent of Cracker's "Hi Desert Biker Meth Lab," it has cool sounds though, but it's only a quick interlude.So, while I really hate "Northern California Girls" and find "Peaches in the Summertime" to be a throw-away track, there's definitely some nice music here and the best parts sound right up there with some of my favorite stuff from the band and its members. It's great to hear them making some new music and I hope it won't be 9 years before the next record. The songs may not have as much depth and the humor may not be as cutting as on early, classic CVB records, but there is quality to be had here. Fans of the band will likely find things to enjoy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pleasant, Wistful, & Original *by D***C on Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2014* The whole album has a quiet, easy-going, & wistful tone throughout, especially the songs "Come Down the Coast," "Too High for the Love-In," "Someday Our Love Will Sell Us," the beautiful "Northern California Girls," "La Costa Perdida," and "A Love for All Time." A couple changes in pace come through in "You Got to Roll" with its almost experimental jam and "Peaches in the Summertime" with its lively violin. It's totally different from previous CVB efforts, but excels in a new direction, and although missing some of the quirkiness of their early years, it has a more mature, laid-back feel. Yet you'll still find the varied instruments and sounds, like violin and mandolin, and even some female backing vocals, interspersed throughout the songs, and all adding depth and character to the whole work. A quality band, one of my favorites along with R.E.M., Pixies, and 10,000 Maniacs, and still making music that's vital and unlike anything else out there. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ NOT Dangerous to Listen! *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2013* OK, I must clear this up right now. I consider some of the folks in this band to be friends. But I also have to say that Camper van Beethoven was an acquired taste for me. I first became a fan of David Lowery's successor band, "Cracker", through my friendship with Johnny Hickman, who co-founded "Cracker" with Lowery in 1991. Johnny suggested that I listen to CVB's CDs. I liked a few of the songs, but wasn't wildly enthusiastic. Then I listened to them again. The songs grew on me, as did the mixture of so many kinds of popular music. Then I started listening to David Lowery's lyrics. They made me think, maybe more than I wanted to, but make me think they did.I was hooked. This is world-class music played by an incredibly-versatile group of musicians.The first time through the CD, I reminded myself of my previous experiences listening to their stuff. The second time through, I began getting into it. Third time through, hooked again. So, upon hearing this CD for the first time, you might shrug your shoulders and say, "Huh?", but give it time. You'll come around.But first, you gotta buy the CD. I did, and even got a refund of $2.83 from my original pre-order price! Nice!Now, if I could just get someone to make me a sandwich! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/4902270-la-costa-perdida](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/4902270-la-costa-perdida) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
