Like other noise-pop bands, San Diego-based Wavves, brings a catalog of scuzzy pop songs that are both immediately catchy and somewhat painful to listen to. Essentially a solo project for one Nathan Williams, the self-titled debut, out now on Brooklyn label Woodsist, aims to get you to sing along and blow out your speaker cones within a 2 minute-song span. What seperates Wavves from bands like Times New Viking or Eat Skull is that the songs are clearly fit for a crowded, sweaty basement as you exchange sweat with some random dude who hasn’t showered in 3 days. But they work just as well sitting on a blanket on the beach with your friends, staring out at the water behind your dollar store sun glasses pondering your place in the universe.
Keep an eye out for Wavves’ next release, Wavvves, on De Stijl in early 2009. (And yes, that is three V’s)
