Song:  New Shoes

Link: http://pitchfork.com/forkcast/15442-horse-shoes/

As stated in the Pitchfork blurb this is a reworking of an old tune from Wavves’ 2009 Daytrotter Session, when drummer Zach Hill was still in the band.  Hill’s louder, more chaotic drumming is apparent here as is the lack of Stephen Pope (unless I’m totally wrong and he is on this recording, but I don’t hear it!)  Hopefully, this is a glimpse at the forthcoming release of old Zach Hill/Nathan Wavves material, if it is this should be a decent record. Though the song may not contain the strong  hooks Wavves are known for, it’s raw musicianship can be appreciated.  I also second Pitchfork’s sentiment that this has a “garage punk” feel to it. We’ll see what happens next, it seems like Wavves songs are coming out left and right these days!
