Wavves over and over
Wavves! Wavves is a lo fi noise punk sound. Wavves splices Caesars on the patio, pineapple and Malibu in the sand then whisky shots at midnight. The most recent full length album, Wavvves**, is filled with unconventional beach songs: Beach Demon, Gun in the Sun, California Goth, Beach Goth. Wavves knows what it’s like to cycle back to East Van from Jericho Beach. Wavves knows what it’s like sitting on the floor waiting for your friend to try on another pair of pants and then ask you about it and nothing’s changed but you continue to be polite so they just hurry up already.
Getting into Wavves at the end of the summer, start of the autumn is perfect. You’re getting mopey goth songs about the beach, so who really wants to go there when it’s raining.
The best thing about Wavves is that they keep releasing new material. Mickey Mouse and Cool Jumper are songs that have taken off from Possum: the whole album experience is behind these tracks and it’s new music on the fourteen track album and it’s just so super.
**Thanks for the Correction! I was wrong! You were right, Internet. My bad.
If you like the sound of Wavves then you have to check out The Verbs from new York. Steve Jordan, who is helping to produce John Mayer’s newest album, and Meegan Voss have similar musical qualities but with an interesting twist. They are big in Japan and Tamio Okuda plays on 5 tracks so, the Japanese do love The Verbs. Hope you do to: http://www.theverbs.us
