After
my review of Best Coast's Crazy For You earlier in the week, it only seems fair that I give Wavves' new release a chance as well.
Wavves, aka Nathan Williams and Best Coast's Bethany Cosentino are the indie sweethearts of 2010, enjoying a very public, and very loved up, relationship. They also both had albums released this week, going head-to-head in the charts. And as I mentioned in the last review,
Crazy For You is winning that little contest with ease.
I've never been one to place much importance on record sales though, selling a million records is hardly a reliable measure of an album's value after all. So Wavves'
King Of The Beach gets a fair crack of the whip from me, and a chance to get one over on the missus by beating her Popsiculture score of 60%. Yeah, that will make up for disappointing sales, right?
