posted on 15.06.10 Gotta Gets 2010 // Wavves - King of the Beach

If you have heard of Wavves by now, you are probably as stoked as I am for Nathan Williams sophmore record to come out in August. After watching this video posted on Vimeo from the recording sessions in Oxford, Mississippi, I am reeeeeeally excited. The new sound is trademark Wavves, but noticeably refined and polished just enough to retain fans of the ultra-lo-fi sound while picking up more ears in the white wash. As Nathan says, “I do it for myself, I don’t know if that’s selfish but I wanna make songs that sound cool to me.” Whoever you are doing it for Nathan, we love it and can’t wait for the full album (btw I’ve heard it, it is amazing, and yes I will be buying it on vinyl.)

posted on 10.11.09 Noise Not Unheard - Wavves

Hot on the scene this year is a new sound coming out of San Diego, CA called Wavves.  I’ll be honest, the lo-fi surfer-on-acid-garage-punk sound took me a few listens to get into.  Once I heard that the entire album was written, performed, recorded and produced by one dude, I got a bit more interested.  But truthfully, it wasn’t until I had the chance to see Wavves live in their native San Diego a month back that I got to experience the full genius that everyone has been hyping all summer.

After a few warm up tracks, front man Nathan Williams (who just happens to be a good friend’s fiance’s brother, small world) and his new drummer Zach Hill (of Hella) stole the room and brought it back to a hipster-surfer dance off deep in the psychedelic past of the 50’s so-cal surf scene.  BDN definitely approves Wavves as a band to keep on your radar the next few years.  Check out a few tracks below and catch ‘em live if you have the chance.
