King of the Beach features a complete rhythm section comprised of Stephen Pope and Billy Hayes, both formerly of the late Jay Reatard's touring band.

After playing the major festival circuit, Nathan started his own record label Ghost Ramp and released the Life Sux EP on September 20th 2011.
On March 26, 2013 Wavves released their 4th studio album "Afraid of Heights" on Mom + Pop records. Jacob Cooper left the band in 2013. Brian Hill (The Soft Pack/The Plot to Blow Up the Eiffel Tower) began playing drums soon after.
Wavves' fifth album entitled "V" was released on October 2, 2015 through Ghost Ramp and Warner Bros. Records.

Wavves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She won't listen
She won't listen
My head's numb
And I can't hear her
Any clearer
Bill Clinton in my head
Bill Clinton in my head
Little clearer through the roof
Bill Clinton in my head
Little clearer through the roof
Bill Clinton in my head
Bill Clinton!
My alien
He's still missing
He's still missing
My plan's done
And I can't hear ya
Any clearer
Little clearer in my head
Bill Clinton through the roof
Little clearer in my head
Bill Clinton through the roof
Little clearer in my head
Bill Clinton through the roof
Bill Clinton
Wipe all the sweat from my eyes
And hide from the ocean!
Waves crash my flesh and skull;
But I still feel stupid, stupid, stupid
Stupid!
Stupid!
Stupid!
Stupid!
The lyrics of Wavves's song "Super Soaker" convey a sense of detachment and disorientation. The singer of the song is experiencing a disconnect from his surroundings, as he can't hear the person he's talking to any clearer and his head feels numb. He tries to clear his head by thinking of something else, and the image that comes to mind is that of Bill Clinton. The refrain "Bill Clinton in my head" is repeated throughout the song, giving it a catchy and humorous quality, despite the underlying sense of alienation.
The second verse adds another layer to the song, as the singer mentions his missing alien. This adds a sci-fi element to the song, further emphasizing the sense of detachment from reality. The final lines of the song describe the physical sensation of being wiped out by the waves, but also feeling stupid at the same time. This final repetition of the word "stupid" could serve as a commentary on the generation the song is addressing, who may feel disconnected from their surroundings and experience a lack of focus or purpose.
Overall, "Super Soaker" is a song that touches on themes of alienation, disorientation, and detachment, all wrapped up in a catchy and humorous package.

The day's done
The day has ended
She won't listen
She refuses to hear me out
She won't listen
She won't listen to what I have to say
My head's numb
I cannot feel or think properly
And I can't hear her
I cannot understand what she is saying
Any clearer
Even though I am trying hard
Bill Clinton in my head
I am thinking about Bill Clinton
Little clearer through the roof
The thought is getting clearer in my mind
Bill Clinton!
Bill Clinton is on my mind!
My alien
My extraterrestrial friend
He's still missing
I cannot find him
He's still missing
He has not returned yet
My plan's done
My plan is complete
And I can't hear ya
I cannot hear or comprehend what you are saying
Any clearer
Even though I am trying hard
Wipe all the sweat from my eyes
I am sweating and need to clear my vision
And hide from the ocean!
I want to avoid the ocean
Waves crash my flesh and skull;
The waves are pounding on my body and head
But I still feel stupid, stupid, stupid
Even though I am trying to avoid the waves, I still feel foolish
Stupid!
I feel foolish
Stupid!
I feel foolish
Stupid!
I feel foolish
Stupid!
I feel foolish
