Wavves, ‘Afraid of Heights’ – Album Review
With their fourth studio release, Wavves have created their most coherent listen to date, one that further expresses their slacker aesthetic. They aren’t just picking up where they left off with ‘King of the Beach.’ There’s less fuzz and more grunge, as well as new elements of Animal Collective-style symphonics. However, this is an album that strongly plays upon Williams’ love of Weezer and Nirvan

Damn, that's one catchy tune! OK, you can say that about most any Wavves jam, so it's not a surprising revelation to make about 'Afraid of Heights,' the new single and title track from Wavves' fourth album, which officially drops today (March 26). Still, we thought we'd point it out. No harm in noting.

Nathan Williams has a knack for making a union of the simple, strange and awesome: He broke onto the scene with the noisy fuzz surf Wavves back in 2009 and has been an intoxicated luminary of the indie scene since. Now he's teaming up with his brother Kynan for a slice of summery laptop folk. The act is Sweet Valley, and the song is 'Total Carnage.'
