The debut full-length from Wavves, 'Wavvves' (a deliberate, maximalist misspelling) arrived as a blast of distorted, catchy garage rock that cemented the project's early reputation. It featured the singles 'So Bored' and 'Beach Demonstration'.
- The album was released in early 2009 on Fat Possum Records.
- It was recorded in the home studio of producer Jay Reatard, a fellow traveler in the garage rock revival scene.
- Upon release, 'Wavvves' was noted for its raw energy and melodic hooks, standing in contrast to the more polished sounds dominating the charts.
Nathan Williams, the creative force behind Wavves, is a purveyor of laid-back, lo-fi surf-influenced indie rock from San Diego. Wavves emerged in the late 2000s, embodying a slacker-rock ethos that resonated with a generation disillusioned by mainstream pop.
