2009: The Year Of The Consonant? New WAVVES LP In February March

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Fat Possum has picked up the new album, which now has a release date of March 17. Destijl is no longer releasing it.

----

Nathan Daniel William’s distorted art-surf-pop group, WAVVES has already been called out by the ever-observant online music community (no link, find it yourself people) for superfluous consonant use last year. Including us: Gumshoe talked about WAVVES in his year-end write-up (TMT Feature), and Jspicer wrote about WAVVES for our year-end Eureka! list.

It appears that 2009 will be more of the same, as WAVVES is scheduled to release the follow-up to their Woodsist self-titled debut. The sophomore LP is to be called WAVVVVES (yes, three "V"s — two more than the correct spelling of the word and one more than the correct spelling of the group name). Look for the record February 3 on De Stijl, but don’t confuse it with the debut LP, as it has very similar artwork. No one said being a music fan was always easy; if it was, it would be called sitting on the couch.

Look for WAVVES on tour all over the world this February and March.

1. Rainbow Everywhere 2. Sun Opens My Eyes 3. Get in the Sun 4. Jetplane (Staying on A ) 5. No Hope Kids 6. More Fur 7. So Bored 8. Summer Goth 9. Surf Goth 10. Goth Girls 11. Ghost Ramp 12. Killr Punx 13. Scary Demons
