Wavves: King of the Beach (Fat Possum)

Wavves: King of the Beach (Fat Possum) - Nathan Williams' Wavves brings together surf-punk and 60s sunshine soul on his most put-together album. The bright production from Dennis Herring gives his works much needed depth. "King of the Beach" is a rather ironic title considering his downbeat loner persona. Baked guitar punk, layered percussion, primitive electronic and hazy noise are hallmarks. Recommended.
