It's not ****gaze, it's just lo-fi pop now, there's chillwave influences on tracks like micky mouse but that does not make it chillwave.
wavves his early stuff could be considered ****gaze but in my opinion it were just noisy, lo-fi pop records.

Does it bother anyone else that they have a sound thats absolutely impossiple to translate live?

^I got that too. I saw No Age a couple years ago at Bumbershoot and their concert was completely incomprehensible. I can imagine Wavves being like that live too.

i heard king of the beach today after pretty much avoiding it at all costs.
and they actually don't suck as much **** as i thought they would.
in fact, i kinda like them. oh ****, i'm becoming a hipster.

Not a fan at all, this recent surf rock trend has been rubbing me the wrong way I guess.

Nate had a pretty good backing band (from Jay Reatard). I think the drummer recently left, and now he has the drummer from the Mae Shi.

I don't get the Nirvana comparisons at all...

Fave track:

So where do I start with this band? I've heard that King of the Beach is where it's at just thought I'd get a few more opinions first.
