I’ve pretty much liked everything that Nathan Williams has done in the past under the Wavves monkier. It’s so lo-fi and full of energy, it’s impossible not be taken back to another moment in time. For me, it’s the soundtrack to every skate session I ever did.

Williams has done an amazing job at taking punk DIY and giving it a modern spin, without actually seeming like that was the intention (and it may not have been!?). ‘King of the Beach’ is on the verge of being released – and like I expected – it is AMAZING. Forget all the crap you’ve read about him; to be fair, Wavves is an unexpected phenomenon – and that’s just for us listeners – Williams must be wondering right how how he managed to whip everyone into a frenzy.

You can stream the entire fantastic album now through Fat Possum Records here or check out this crazy little doco about the making of the album.
