Wavves, (spelled with the double “v’s”), are apostles of noise-pop, a niche of alternative rock that features the melodies and song-structures of pop music combined with distorted instrumentations and elements of white noise.
With Wavves it’s warped, lo-fi intensity.
We featured Wavves here last year. With a new album forthcoming, leader Nathan Williams has posted a free download on his blog.
“Horse Shoes” is the Song of the Day.
