Wavves have released further details of their upcoming new album.
The record, due 26 March, takes the name Afraid of Heights - we’re guessing because frontman Nathan Williams is scared of heights, or they might just be trying to be subversive.
It’s also been revealed that Rilo Kiley singer Jenny Lewis will star on the title-track, after she brought the band “weed cookies” to the studio.
Watch the video to one of the album’s cuts right now, ‘Sail To The Sun’ embedded below:
