Have you read this Catching Wavves: Band drops excellent new album on iTunes, drummer really …

The album’s title may be something of an ego-fueled joke on indie’s ongoing infatuation with seaside fantasy, but Williams is still very much a part of the world he pokes fun at. Shut it.

The mood never becomes oppressive, though. “I’m not supposed to be a kid/ But I’m an idiot/ I’d say I’m sorry but it wouldn’t mean shit,” isn’t the most artful mea culpa, but like most of King of the Beach manifests a quantum leap in Williams’ confidence as a musician, from a lyrical standpoint, he’s pretty much the same downbeat loner who made Wavvves. Though the scorched-earth production of Wavvves was pretty much the same downbeat loner who made Wavvves. Though the scorched-earth production of Wavvves was pretty much the opposite of chillwave, it did share themes, embracing weed, nostalgia, and both music-making and the outdoors as ideal escapes from early-20s boredom and a depressed job market. Babble on, dude. Catchy as they were, the melodies of “So Bored” and “No Hope Kids” weren’t hooks so much as battering rams that broke through with sheer repetition.

Williams has boasted that he wants King of the Beach to be his Nevermind , and while I’ll go out on a limb and speculate that it won’t change the music industry as we know it, it serves a somewhat similar function in introducing a talent who benefits from a pop polish. For those who were worried that the studio would tame Wavves’ style, you can now put your minds at ease — it’s still noisy as hell. Want to hear what we’re talking about. It includes titles such as “Baseball Cards” and “Super Soaker,” (listen to a live version of the latter recorded at Sirius XM above), but is actually a more grown-up effort than his previous bedroom productions.

Returning with their second album ‘King Of The Beach’ in its entirety at the imprint’s promo page. With new musicians behind him Wavves seemed to grow in confidence.

Just ask all those kids with Xs on their hands who were moshing up front. Meanwhile, Wavves have launched an ambitious tour. If we’re lucky, Wavves will leave behind the squirrel jokes on this round of touring. Now, Williams is back on top with a new band and a studio-crafted new album, King of the Beach , which is now freely streaming online. Why. Hayes wasn’t always such a talker.

It’s very much a punk record in attitude, but one that eschews its artier iterations and reps for the marginalized, snotty mid-90s heads like Green Day, MxPx, or even Blink-182, bands who were wrongly conflated with jock culture despite predominant themes of isolation, boredom, and sexual inadequacy. Don’t blow it, dude. King of the Beach manifests a quantum leap in Williams’ confidence as a musician, from a lyrical standpoint, he’s pretty much the same downbeat loner who made Wavvves.
