Nathan Williams is looking like he’ll be having a very busy 2015. He said there will be two Wavves records released this summer, one of which will be free. One of those is the long-awaited collaborative album with Cloud Nothings, which Nathan tells Nylon Guys he recorded at his house with CN singer Dylan Baldi and Wavves bassist Stephen Pope. The other is the fifth Wavves album, which “was recorded with a full band in L.A. with legitimate producers and engineers” that they previewed a handful of songs from at their Baby’s All Right show this past September. (They sounded great, too.)

On top of that, Nathan and his brother Joel (who make electronic music together as Sweet Valley) and Jeans Wilder (aka Andrew Caddick) also have a debut album coming out as Spirit Club this spring, and just released the first single “Still Life” today. It’s the kind of lo-fi punk that sounds more like Wavvves or King of the Beach than what Wavves is doing now, and it’s good stuff. Check out the video below.
