listen party // Wavves “King of the Beach”

Fat Possum records is sharing a full album stream of Wavves‘ forthcoming King of the Beach lp here.

I just have to point out, I totally have that same mug.  Or at least a Garfield/Odie mug from the same series—I think it came with a Happy Meal when I was a kid.  It’s now used to hold toothbrushes in my parents’ basement bathroom . . .


the beatles + green day x the weed demon = new Wavves!

So glad Nate did not drop off the face of the earth after his breakdown—finding his new songs to be improving on the promise of his first album . . .

Wavves // “King of the Beach” : 2010.06.13 : Fat Possum
genre
psych pop power punk
sounds like resting your head on the sea bed of nails.  flight of the navigator space wars. bmx spraypaint. white album noise pop.  supersonic sleighbells.  helium high fives.
notes if it takes a nervous breakdown to make an album this incredible, I hope he has a few more.
verdict the opposite of a sophomore slump—a triumph of noise an pop.
