Yet another musical moniker for a one-man band, Wavves is the stage name for San Diego musician, Nathan Williams. His music is so distorted and difficult to decipher -- both his lyrics and any melodic line -- that many have jokingly referred to the style as no-fi, instead of lo-fi.
Unlike recent bands who have jumped on the lo-fi bandwagon, Wavves actually stumbled upon it by accident. Williams sat down a few years ago after quitting his minimum wage job, and recorded some tunes using Garage Band. Well, he was so inexperienced with the software that all the inputs were over-balanced, and he ended up with a garbled mess. Regardless, he posted the songs online and almost surprisingly, he became something of an indie superstar overnight.
Albums: King of the Beach (2010), Wavvves (2009)
