WAVVES has posted up a new, as-yet-untitled track that's slated to appear on an upcoming release in the Fader 7" series . As is the case with most of Nathan Williams' tunes, the simple but undeniable melody firmly implanted itself in my brain after one listen. Check it out at his myspace . In other news, stay tuned for a WAVVES-related SXSW announcement from us in the relatively near future...

Thanks to Raven Sings the Blues for assisting in my effort to extend summer for one more day (despite the fact that it gets dark at 5:00 PM now), via the laid back, dubby tropical sounds of New Jersey native Ducktails . According to Visitation Rites , this particular beach jam is "built on a 2-second instrumental loop from Gétatchèwe Kassa 's "Tezeta Slow" (a song featured on an installment.

Not all of Stereogum's favorite sounds conform to what folks expect us to cover. In this space, resident Bananafish fetishist Brandon Stosuy focuses on bands, albums, singles, and villages in Sweden that may otherwise pass by unnoticed. This installment's virtual milk crate contains Wavves .In the past couple of Outsiders I've focused on underground legendary figures/bands Harry Pussy and N...

San Diego resident Nathan Williams creates noisy psychedelic pop under the name Wavves. His self-titled album is filled with copious amounts of noise and melody, sounding something like a cross between the Beach Boys, No Age and Times New Viking. "Beach punk" seems like an accurate description. Though still relativbely unknown outside of his southern California turf, Wavves has already gotten...

"Coasting is a new duo -- as in, they've been a band for like a week -- from Brooklyn that recently befriended us on myspace. These two (Fiona & Madison) make blistering, distorted blasts of simple/catchy fuzz-pop that you may be into if you feel like WAVVES' drums 'aren't blown out enough.'"Now, if you're like me you probably thought that the quote above came via some sort of indie rock equiva...

Daytrotter just posted up their latest session with Wavves and even have a new track recorded. It’s listed as “Horse Sholes” but he called it “Poker Face” on the previously recorded set by Ray Conception. Well, whatever Nathan wants to call it is ok by me. Check “To The Dregs” + whatever this song is [...]

Young Nathan Williams aka Wavves has been making a lot of...wait for it...no, I'm not going to do that to you...Williams has been making lots of friends (or enemies perhaps) over the weekend as out in Austin, Texas for SXSW as he just wrapped up ELEVEN appearances. He now makes his way out East and then back home to San Diego. Williams' not-so-stealth appearance into the indie scene largely de...

Nathan Daniel Williams likes the letter ‘v’: he’s added another one to the middle of his band’s name for this second album, following last year’s Wavves. The San Diego native makes decidedly difficult music, taking elements of Dinosaur Jnr, My Bloody Valentine and ’60s’ surf pop and putting it through…

Thanks to whomever left this in the comments: Wavves' "No Hope Kids" soundtracks a creepy British railroad safety PSA from 1977, in which the moral of the story appears to be that playing on the tracks is really fun until everyone dies:********************related:HRO blogs about Wavves, a "chill bro who plays gigs in comfortable sports wear."********************

By Amrit Singh & Brandon StosuyOn Friday we shook off the early-morning cobwebs and made a beeline to the Pitchfork/Windish Bash in time to catch the last couple tracks by psychedelic post-Vanishing Voice Brooklynites Woods on the outside stage (as far as labels go, this was undeniably the year of the Woodsist) and School Of Seven Bells on the inside. And, speaking again of Woodsist, we saw Wav...

WAVVES played at least ten different times down in Austin during SXSW, and Spike.com is already dubbing him an "indie superstar."

Wavves is the moniker of DIY indie rocker Nathan Daniel William. At the ripe old age of 22, he's getting ready to release his second album of Jay Reatard-style garage, WAVVVES (due out February 3rd).Judging by the song titles this one will be very entertaining. It looks like he has a thing for Goth about 2/3 of the way through the record.You can also download an MP3 for the track "So Bored...
