King Of The Beach

San Diego punk trio Wavves has announced that its upcoming third album, King Of The Beach, will be released through Fat Possum on August 3. In a stark contrast to the band's first two self-titled albums, which were recorded in bursts on a laptop at Wavves mastermind Nathan Williams' parents' house, Beach was completed after three months of work at Sweet Tea Recording in Oxford, Mississippi, with producer Dennis Herring (Modest Mouse). 　

In another first for Wavves, two of the songs were co-written and recorded with bassist Stephen Pope and drummer Billy Hayes, both former bandmates of the late Memphis punk icon Jay Reatard. The duo joined Wavves after Williams' notorious performance at the Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona last year.
