Wavves "Goldy Lox" / "Glued" / "Hula Hoop"
Published Mar 23, 2011
Wavves have spent much of the year touring behind 2010 LP King of the Beach, but that hasn't stopped songwriter Nathan Williams from rolling out a series of free tracks online. The latest free digital release is a collection of three songs recorded during drummer Zach Hill's stint with the project in 2009.
"Goldy Lox" is an instrumental that mixes a triumphant fuzz rock stomp with atmospheric keyboards and psychedelic flourishes. "Glued" takes a more straightforward pop rock approach, with more of the ultra-distorted production and beach-centric lyrics that have become Wavves' trademark. The track also contains an unexpected slide guitar break.
The last track, "Hula Hoop," is a manic punk rocker that races by on three minutes of pure adrenaline, as Williams rages about all the things he hates. Listen to all three songs below.
