Debut studio album from Nathan Williams aka Wavves. Baffling, drugged out, and melodic, the San Diego slacker mangles overdriven everything w/ lyrics about the beach, weed, boredom & more, and the raw, DIY energy carrying the record has aged extremely well, still as infectious as ever. Check out the sludge fest of “Lower Year,” or the disorienting assault that is “California Goth.” “Wavves” is another standout, an amped up, redlining surf-rock that perfectly showcases Williams’s aesthetic. This is the 10-year anniversary reissue and includes the never-before-heard bonus track “All Star Goth.”
