Wavves back with 'Spun' album, tour in June

After announcing their new album Spun, San Diego's Wavves release the title track of the same name, “Spun.” The song follows “Goner,” the previously released Travis Barker (Blink-182)-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.

The album is due out June 27 with a North American tour set to launch later that month. See routing below. Preorder the LP here. 

Like lead singer 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. 

Over a decade prior, Williams released King of the Beach, an album that brought much attention - a pop/punk collection that also led to a widely publicized on stage meltdown at Primavera Fest. Wavves 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, and Williams has again reunited with longtime bandmates Stephen Pope, Ross Traver, and Alex Gates.
