Californian surf punk outift Wavves have streamed their new album in full. Formed by Nathan Williams in 2008, the album, Wavves' fifth, is simply titled V.
Featuring singles "Heavy Metal Detox", "Way Too Much", and "Flamezesz", the album is packed full of shiny hooks and catchy melodies layered on top of Williams' trademark ferocity and gritty DIY ethics. Despite some bad blood between Williams' and Warner Bros., culminating in a Twitter outburst earlier this year, it appears the two have resolved their differences and returned to a period of mad love.
