Sam Franklin, whose main project is Fluffy Lumbers but who was playing on Saturday with Big Troubles and Ducktails, talked to his bandmate and classmate at Sarah Lawrence Luka Usmiani, about why he finds Wavves kind of distasteful even if some of his songs are really well-written.
“There’s not much thought put into it, and it’s about a very, very specialized set of interests: weed, hanging out, and… I dunno,” said Mr. Franklin, before asking Mr. Usmiani to weigh in.
“I feel like if someone intelligent was doing it, it would be a satire,” Mr. Usmiani said. “I just don’t buy it… If he was seriously about these things he wouldn’t be doing this—he would just be surfing and eating pizza all day, he wouldn’t be singing about it.”
