The new Wavves album King of The Beach has been bumoed to an earlier release date. It will debut for sale at itunes on July 1, other digital outlets July 13, and the CD/LP street date remains August 3.
The album promises a fresh sound for Wavves. Nathan Williams (AKA Wavves) said of this release, "There was a conscious effort going into this that I didn't want to make the same record again. I already made the same record twice, with the same fucking cover art. It wasn't overbearing, but I didn't want to recreate something I'd done. I wanted to make something bigger, something stronger."
Dennis Herring (MOdest Mouse) produced the record. The two came at the project from different angles which created creative - as well as general - tension. "There were some definite 'I want to wring you neck'-type moments," Williams said. "When you're not watering it down with a load of shit and reverb, it's a lot harder to make a record, because you know every part is going to be heard perfectly. You can't half-ass anything," continued Williams. "A lot more effort went into this than with previous Wavves records."
