Wavves front man, Nathan Williams, has come to claim his crown, and all the spoils that go with it: weed, your own form of currency, weed, major bling, weed, and bedazzled and branded bongs and grinders.  It’s every stoner’s dream.  And of course, a king’s daily travails wouldn’t be complete without video games, getting “king”-emblazoned tattoos, and a tour along his expansive sandy kingdom.

Check out the Focus Creeps-directed video for “King of the Beach,” below, with a cameo from the omnipresent Wavves / Best Coast mascot, Snacks the Cat.

Wavves‘ LP, King of the Beach, is available now from Fat Possum Records.
