Of course we are into this! Nathan Williams bka Wavves has been in the mag twice and writes a video game column called Sweaty Hands for this very site. Here he’s joined by Zach Hill, apparently a permanent edition to the one man band, and Williams goes fully nuts, utilizing all the stuff we love about his music: grungy guitars and that repeated falsetto wooOOOhhhhh to better effect than most of the other stuff he’s recorded to date. A dude in the office (who will remain nameless) just started clutching his face and went on a rant about how good this is, and we agree—minus the face-clutching. On the first several listens, it sounds like a pretty big step forward for Wavves. Also, this is website, we are just relying on pure feeling, people!
