(May 14, 2025) - After announcing their new album Spun, Wavves return to release the title track of the same name, “Spun.” Doubling as the album opener, “Spun” is a tone-setter that announces the band is back doing what they do best – churning out infectious pop-punk harmonies backed by bright guitar-driven walls of fuzz. It’s a song that will both open up the pit and induce mass sing-alongs at Wavves’ upcoming tour dates.
“Spun” arrives alongside vinyl-preorders which can be grabbed here, and it follows “Goner,” the previously released Travis Barker-produced song. “Goner” was paired with a Brandon Dermer-directed music video filmed at the band’s Los Angeles County wildfire benefit show at Zeublon, watch that here. Dermer has previously directed Wavves’ 2013 video for “That’s On Me” and has directed videos for Blink-182 among others.
Spun is due out June 27th with a headline North American tour set to launch later that month with supporting acts from Beach Goons and additional support from Death Lens and Chokecherry on select dates. Scroll down for the full routing.
Like Nathan Williams’ earliest music, this album first took shape in a small shed behind his parents’ house known as the hideaway. It's the place where Williams made some of his earliest albums, before he became known for his uncanny ability to write songs that sneered at the world while evoking pathos, sympathy, and a deep understanding of how sometimes we’re our own worst enemies, and that can be okay.
Over a decade prior to this, Williams released King of the Beach an album that delivered on all of the promise that his first two homespun records Wavves and Wavvves captured. It’s an album that also catapulted the band to worldwide acclaim as one of the new darlings of indie rock. It was a cocky collection of pop-punk gems that brought fame so rapidly it also, in part, led to a widely publicized on stage meltdown at Primavera Fest. Wavves recovered, as they always do, and eventually entered the major label system, where the band released two albums before Williams became disillusioned by the lack of creative agency available to him. In 2017, Williams self-released You’re Welcome on his label, Ghost Ramp before returning to Fat Possum (the home of his first three albums) for Hideaway.
Fast forward to 2024, an older, wiser, and slightly less stoned Williams has again reunited with longtime bandmates Stephen Pope, Ross Traver, and Alex Gates for a new full-length Wavves album. Always known for their raucous live performances, Wavves fans can rest assured that 2025 will deliver on the last few years of relative quiet with new music and a massive North American tour on the way.
