Wavves Releases LP on iTunes, New Single, Tours
San Diego noise-pop kid Wavves is at the top of his game right now. Smartly, Fat Possum, his label, has made the financially prudent decision to get his new album the fuck out there as soon as possible. Wavvves, won't be out on CD or vinyl until March 17, but iTunes has it right now. Check out the tracklist below. Dude seems to be kinda obsessed with goths.
Fat Possum has also released a new Wavves single today. "California Goths" b/w "Here's to the Sun" is for sale right now on Fat Possum's website. Half of the pressing is on pink vinyl, half of it on green. That's the cover above. And Fat Possum is giving away the first 300 copies for free to the first 300 people who buy the album digitally from their website, so get clicking, vinyl fetishists.
Wavves also has a ridiculous number of live shows coming up, including an appearance on the Pitchfork stage at the Primavera Sound fest, so invest in some earplugs and go nuts:
