Wavves "No Hope Kids" from Pete Ohs on Vimeo.
I love Wavves. I think Nathan and Ryan are on to something, lo-fi revival aside. Everyone loves to talk shit about Wavves because Nathan is young and likes to smoke weed and writes songs on Garage Band using only 3 chords. The reason Wavves is so popular is because despite the horrible sounding description it's the fact that he's young and stoned and write songs on a computer that makes Wavves so good. Then, there's the whole Spain situation. Yeah, Nathan talked shit about Spain and discussed California's superiority (very true things), but it was also a Festival show! Wavves' set time was 2:20 AM! Pitchfork and all the other music jerks acted like Animal Collective had just said they were bigger than Jesus. Sure Nathan's a mess, but he's also a kid. If he can write songs this good as young and as stoned all the time as he is, imagine what he'll do when he puts the pipe and the pills down. I also love how hipsters will interview Nathan and then get angry at Wavves popularity. Anyway, this is the video for No Hope Kids off of Wavvves. This was kind of ranty.
