The last couple of years saw a major return to lo-fi aesthetics in the indie world. It was enough for critics to claim it was a movement and call it "shitgaze." While a lot of "shitgaze" bands hide lack of songwriting talent behind walls of noise, the best deliver superior pop songs along with their bathroom productions. Nathan Williams' Wavves is certainly one of the best. "No Hope Kids" is classic loser pop-punk that would make the Replacements jealous. Blown-out, in the red production only adds to the songs charm.
