WAVVES
Wavves recently made a long-awaited return with their first new music since 2021, the launch of their cannabis brand Wavvy Supply Co., and a Los Angeles wildfire benefit show at Zebulon. The band followed that momentum with the release of their new album Spun, marking the start of a new chapter for Nathan Williams and longtime bandmates Stephen Pope, Ross Traver, and Alex Gates.
Now Wavves are expanding the Spun era with a deluxe edition of the album featuring two B-sides and the Live Wavvy Sessions—five songs recorded live in the studio capturing the band’s raw, unfiltered energy. The sessions include performances of “King of the Beach,” “Nine Is God,” “Green Eyes,” “Goner,” and “So Long,” bridging fan-favorite classics with songs from Spun.
The album’s single “Goner,” produced by Travis Barker, arrived alongside a Brandon Dermer-directed music video filmed during the band’s Zebulon charity show. Dermer previously directed Wavves’ 2013 video for “That’s On Me” and has worked with artists including Blink-182. Speaking about how the track came together, Williams says:
“I had this song I had been sitting on, always revisited it and tried to record it a bunch of times but it was never just right. Eventually it was giving me PTSD. I was talking to Travis about doing some songs together and when I opened up the vault to him, this one jumped out so we laid it down and finally we got it right.”
Like Nathan Williams’ earliest music, Spun first took shape in a small shed behind his parents’ house known as the Hideaway—the same space where he recorded some of his earliest material. Since the beginning, Williams has been known for writing songs that push back against the world while still evoking pathos, sympathy, and the uneasy realization that sometimes we’re our own worst enemies—and that can be okay.
Over a decade earlier, Williams released King of the Beach, the album that delivered on the promise of his first two homespun records, Wavves and Wavvves. It catapulted the band to worldwide acclaim as one of indie rock’s most exciting new acts. In the years that followed, Wavves entered the major-label system with Warner Records, releasing Afraid of Heights and V, before eventually stepping away in search of greater creative freedom.
