Wavvves

Nathan Williams’ lo-fi energy really shines through on this pressing; the bass crackles perfectly on side B. It’s exactly the raw, blown-out sound I was hoping for from a bedroom rock record.

The blown-out production is exactly what I hoped for—it’s raw and messy in all the right ways, like the tape’s about to snap. Side A’s pop hooks cut through the fuzz perfectly on my turntable, and the crackle just adds to the charm.

The recording sounds cool and lo-fi, but my copy has a few pops on side B that aren't part of the blown-out aesthetic. Still a fun listen for fans of that raw bedroom sound.
