Nathan Williams and Two Minutes of Busted Summer

Post Acid sounds like it was recorded inside a broken television left out in the sun—guitars blown to static, Nathan Williams half-singing and half-dissolving into the noise. It’s barely two minutes of Wavves doing exactly what Wavves does best: building something that feels like a headache you don’t want cured. The track came from King of the Beach, which arrived in 2010 as one of those albums that perfectly captured the feeling of a summer you were already wasting. Lo-fi surf punk with something anxious underneath the haze. You could press it into a postcard if postcards sounded like feedback.
