Wavves Announce Album Details, Tour Dates

B-Sides Staffon

Wavves has released their single, “Demon To Lean On” from their forthcoming album, Afraid Of Heights, due on March 26, 2013. Wavves will be touring North America with FIDLAR and Cheatahs for March and April with tickets going on sale Friday, February 1st.

The duo consisting of guitarist Nathan Williams and bassist Stephen Pope, took more than a year to write and record the album, which was produced by John Hill (known for his work with M.I.A. and Santigold, as well as with hip-hop acts such as Nas and the Wu-Tang Clan). The Afraid Of Heights sessions were paid by Williams without any label support, explaining, “In doing so, I had no one to answer to. We recorded the songs how and when we wanted without anybody interfering, and that’s how it’s supposed to be.”
