The first proper single from Wavves' forthcoming LP Afraid of Heights, "Demon to Lean On", is a power chord-stacked anthem that, if it were 1995, would easily be found on any modern rock radio station's Top Five Countdown. Which isn't a bad thing: considering that kids weaned on Dookie and Smash can now legally drink, it's no surprise that Nathan Williams is proudly displaying similar influences. At this point, Williams comes off as the elder statesman of sugary, snot-rocket-fueled pop-punk, and his songwriting is increasingly more economical and punchy with each new turn. Like most Wavves songs, "Demon to Lean On" subscribes to a nagging insistence-- only, this time, the impulse is purely to please.

Album's out on the 26th.

Can't say I'm in love with this yet :( I think this is technically Nathan Williams's 4th album in one year :o

I like it, I remember being fond of his first album but I never got round to listening to the rest.
