Wavves mastermind Nathan Williams has, fearing neither the mighty hands of Neptune or Aquaman, declared himself “King of the Beach.” A bold claim made even bolder by the fact that his newest record will, from now until eternity, bear the title King of the Beach (TMT Review). Surely there will be naysayers, but Mr. Williams plans to prove them wrong by swiftly taking over the beach-rich West Coast by means of an August tour. Here’s hoping he wears a crown.
Further evidence concerning whether Williams deserves his controversial title lies in the album itself, available to stream right here, right now. The album is also currently available over at iTunes and only iTunes. Other digital retailers will be selling the record on July 13, while the physical king drops on August 3.
