Wavves - “So Bored”
Most of Wavves sounds like a sludge fuzz blast from a blown out speaker. Its a rough first listen but the initial unpleasantness of Wavves’ no-fi pop sound is completely appropriate in defining the harsh beauty of dorm-room depression and the lonely-stoner laments that run rampant on this surf goth’s (already) second LP in the last year. Some of the album’s sprayed distortion and bummed-loner lyrics become manageable pop anthems (”So Bored”, “No Hope Kids”) for those who identify with the malaise birthed at the exit for the funeral of the American dream. This is the sound of the gritting bruxia of this up and coming generation’s ‘we-don’t-give-a-flying-trapezoid’ outlook on life. If Wavves’ general attitude is actually this boring I wonder what will happen when their swell finally comes in.
