Gather ‘round ladies, I am God’s favorite evolved male music journalist! This is my resounding endorsement of Nice As Fuck! Damn, this is a good look for me! I can feel my incomplete chromosome regenerating as we speak! Not so much a crass “bio” engineered to cynically exploit the no-shortage-of-sexy-talking-points-that-have-little-to-nothing-to-with-the-actual-music (THEIR EYES ARE UP THERE JESUS), this is in reality more a tacit referendum on the most successful PR campaign of all time: selling you on the indispensability of the male gender. Which I totally get, and am all-to-well-aware of my complicity in that. It sucks. I am the “post-modern man” [eye roll]. But seriously, I am the new tyranny, like, the sole bearer of the new injunction – as in wow that looks heavy, please, allow me to carry that millennia old baggage for you – but I do think I know what you’re trying to say. Realistically, as a man I am more qualified than you to tell you the ways in which I am radically inferior to every other life form on Earth or elsewhere. Let me explain (at the risk, I know, of going a little “woke bro”): You see, at the dawn of the typographical age, we males, cursed with a right hemisphere orientation, decided that our weaknesses (symbolic thinking, intuition, empathy, etc) were weakness in general. So instead of doing the unthinkable, namely: deferring to anyone else’s vision of the world, we made the way we see things law, and then we wrote them down on traditionally masculine substances like stone, marble, etc, so anytime things got a little fuzzy, we could just mindlessly recite our laws, and in case anyone said, “Hey, that’s just some shit you wrote down!” we’d invent a God (a MALE one) and say, “Hey, don’t look at me! He said it!” and that was that.
So, look, along those lines I know it’s a little ironic, not too mention hypocritical, for someone who obviously knows better, to declare (“declaring” being clearly symptomatic of entitlement) from the tower of the patriarchy that Nice As Fuck (aka NAF aka Jenny Lewis, Tennessee Thomas, and Erika Spring aka The Tame Guys) is objectively the best all-female band in the last 25 years (like that should even matter, you know, do you describe RADIOHEAD as an “ALL OPPRESSOR BAND NO YOU DON’T”) so I just won’t. I won’t blatantly man-splain their musical DNA, play spot-the-influence, or condescendingly take you by the hand and patiently reduce their sound to a bunch of “if blank hetero-married blank and then blank subjugated her sound to blank’s sound for the sake of maintaining the relationship”’s (classic), and go on to tell you – so you, presumably, never have to actually listen to it for yourself and (God-forbid) draw your own conclusions which would naturally be that NAF sounds like if the Clash made Rumors and King Tubby produced it.
And, I gotta say, it’s high time for a conscious band to come along and talk power dynamics, talk love, talk guns, talk cookie lips, talk fear, talk fantasy, talk reality (enough with the pizza punk about cats). It isn’t even worth bringing up the crisis of imagination in the lamestream – when I look at some these pop stars that serve as “role models” for these little girls, I just think wow, really great, that’s definitely the message these kids need to hear. Don’t they know that being smart and independent is actually way sexier to me than boop-boop-be-dooing around in garter belts? I mean, I’m trying to liberate these women and they just go and objective themselves! That’s my job! Haha, but really, smart women just really get me going.
Off to find some retail counterfeit of the rituals of antiquity designed to bring me into authentic manhood! Good luck with that, you know?
Haha!
HAHAHA!
H-ha!
Hahahahaha!
Ha Ha Ha Ha!
Ha.
About Inner Wave:
Inner Wave’s fifth full-length represents a massive leap for the California indie-rock outfit, honing their winning melodic instincts that have already wowed listeners and live audiences to zero in on the sharpest and richest version of their sound yet. At once broadly appealing and inarguably personal, See You When I Get Back recalls the lush psych-pop of Tame Impala, the Sea and Cake’s cool-handed post-rock, and the glowing synth fantasias of Neon Indian’s Alan Palomo. But for anyone who’s followed them thus far, these 12 tracks are unmistakably Inner Wave, all the while kicking the door open when it comes to new sonic possibilities for the group.
See You When I Get Back is Inner Wave’s Nettwerk debut and proper follow-up to 2021’s dreamy Apoptosis, a record that provided a wealth of new opportunities for the group after years of honing their sound in their hometown of Gardena. “We grew up playing house shows there and even shot our first music video there,” lead vocalist Pablo Sotelo explains. “Most of our childhood was spent skating around Gardena in between practices. It’s a town that’s been good to us.”
Following Apoptosis, Inner Wave underwent an onslaught of touring that spanned three entire years. “When we made that record, we didn’t know if we were ever going to tour again—so we took every opportunity we could,” Sotelo explains—and such a busy schedule meant a protracted creative process for their next record, as a brief demoing session in 2022 was eventually abandoned. “We didn’t have the opportunity to sit down somewhere comfortably and write much,” guitarist Elijah Trujillo admits.
As life on the road began to slow, Inner Wave eventually decamped to their rehearsal space (lovingly dubbed “The Swamp”), where See You When I Get Back began to come together over the past year. “We got very detail-oriented with the sonics of the album and started recording in many different ways we hadn’t tried before,” Sotelo explains. That try-anything-once approach was certainly encouraged by him and keyboardist/engineer Jose Cruz—the latter of whom joined Inner Wave circa Apoptosis—co-producing the record.
About Los Mesoneros:
Los Mesoneros, originally formed in Venezuela by Luis Jiménez, Juan Sucre, and Carlos Sardi, have built an international career within the Latin rock-pop scene, backed by eight Latin Grammy nominations and a powerful live presence that has positioned them among the region’s most respected acts.
Their live trajectory includes landmark performances such as headlining Mexico City’s Auditorio Nacional—one of the most important venues in the Latin region—along with two sold-out shows at the iconic Teatro Metropólitan. Their international touring history spans packed venues in Madrid, Barcelona, Portugal, Caracas, Buenos Aires, Santiago, Lima, and Bogotá, as well as standout appearances on the main stages of major festivals including Lollapalooza Chile and Tecate Pa’l Norte, solidifying Los Mesoneros as a high-impact live band with a strong connection to their audience.
In 2019, the band released their third studio album, Pangea, one of the most successful projects of their career. The album featured standout songs such as “Te Lo Advertí” and “Últimas Palabras” and earned a Latin Grammy nomination for Best Pop/Rock Album, reaffirming their position within the Latin alternative scene.
In 2024, Los Mesoneros unveiled their fourth studio album, Nuestro Año, a record that marks a clear artistic and sonic evolution. The album expands their musical identity through the use of vintage keyboards, orchestral arrangements, influences from ’70s pop and rock, and subtle hip-hop elements, paired with more introspective and mature lyricism. Nuestro Año received a Latin Grammy nomination in 2024, further strengthening the band’s critical and industry recognition.
Looking ahead to 2026, Los Mesoneros are preparing a new creative chapter focused on fresh music and expanded international touring, reaffirming their long-term vision and their status as one of the most influential and enduring bands of their generation.

Nuestro Año received a Latin Grammy nomination in 2024, further strengthening the band’s critical and industry recognition.
Looking ahead to 2026, Los Mesoneros are preparing a new creative chapter focused on fresh music and expanded international touring, reaffirming their long-term vision and their status as one of the most influential and enduring bands of their generation.
About Inner Wave:
Inner Wave’s fifth full-length represents a massive leap for the California indie-rock outfit, honing their winning melodic instincts that have already wowed listeners and live audiences to zero in on the sharpest and richest version of their sound yet. At once broadly appealing and inarguably personal, See You When I Get Back recalls the lush psych-pop of Tame Impala, the Sea and Cake’s cool-handed post-rock, and the glowing synth fantasias of Neon Indian’s Alan Palomo. But for anyone who’s followed them thus far, these 12 tracks are unmistakably Inner Wave, all the while kicking the door open when it comes to new sonic possibilities for the group.
See You When I Get Back is Inner Wave’s Nettwerk debut and proper follow-up to 2021’s dreamy Apoptosis, a record that provided a wealth of new opportunities for the group after years of honing their sound in their hometown of Gardena. “We grew up playing house shows there and even shot our first music video there,” lead vocalist Pablo Sotelo explains. “Most of our childhood was spent skating around Gardena in between practices. It’s a town that’s been good to us.”
Following Apoptosis, Inner Wave underwent an onslaught of touring that spanned three entire years. “When we made that record, we didn’t know if we were ever going to tour again—so we took every opportunity we could,” Sotelo explains—and such a busy schedule meant a protracted creative process for their next record, as a brief demoing session in 2022 was eventually abandoned. “We didn’t have the opportunity to sit down somewhere comfortably and write much,” guitarist Elijah Trujillo admits.
As life on the road began to slow, Inner Wave eventually decamped to their rehearsal space (lovingly dubbed “The Swamp”), where See You When I Get Back began to come together over the past year. “We got very detail-oriented with the sonics of the album and started recording in many different ways we hadn’t tried before,” Sotelo explains. That try-anything-once approach was certainly encouraged by him and keyboardist/engineer Jose Cruz—the latter of whom joined Inner Wave circa Apoptosis—co-producing the record.

The album featured standout songs such as “Te Lo Advertí” and “Últimas Palabras” and earned a Latin Grammy nomination for Best Pop/Rock Album, reaffirming their position within the Latin alternative scene.
In 2024, Los Mesoneros unveiled their fourth studio album, Nuestro Año, a record that marks a clear artistic and sonic evolution. The album expands their musical identity through the use of vintage keyboards, orchestral arrangements, influences from ’70s pop and rock, and subtle hip-hop elements, paired with more introspective and mature lyricism. Nuestro Año received a Latin Grammy nomination in 2024, further strengthening the band’s critical and industry recognition.
Looking ahead to 2026, Los Mesoneros are preparing a new creative chapter focused on fresh music and expanded international touring, reaffirming their long-term vision and their status as one of the most influential and enduring bands of their generation.
About Inner Wave:
Inner Wave’s fifth full-length represents a massive leap for the California indie-rock outfit, honing their winning melodic instincts that have already wowed listeners and live audiences to zero in on the sharpest and richest version of their sound yet. At once broadly appealing and inarguably personal, See You When I Get Back recalls the lush psych-pop of Tame Impala, the Sea and Cake’s cool-handed post-rock, and the glowing synth fantasias of Neon Indian’s Alan Palomo. But for anyone who’s followed them thus far, these 12 tracks are unmistakably Inner Wave, all the while kicking the door open when it comes to new sonic possibilities for the group.
See You When I Get Back is Inner Wave’s Nettwerk debut and proper follow-up to 2021’s dreamy Apoptosis, a record that provided a wealth of new opportunities for the group after years of honing their sound in their hometown of Gardena. “We grew up playing house shows there and even shot our first music video there,” lead vocalist Pablo Sotelo explains. “Most of our childhood was spent skating around Gardena in between practices. It’s a town that’s been good to us.”
Following Apoptosis, Inner Wave underwent an onslaught of touring that spanned three entire years. “When we made that record, we didn’t know if we were ever going to tour again—so we took every opportunity we could,” Sotelo explains—and such a busy schedule meant a protracted creative process for their next record, as a brief demoing session in 2022 was eventually abandoned. “We didn’t have the opportunity to sit down somewhere comfortably and write much,” guitarist Elijah Trujillo admits.
As life on the road began to slow, Inner Wave eventually decamped to their rehearsal space (lovingly dubbed “The Swamp”), where See You When I Get Back began to come together over the past year. “We got very detail-oriented with the sonics of the album and started recording in many different ways we hadn’t tried before,” Sotelo explains. That try-anything-once approach was certainly encouraged by him and keyboardist/engineer Jose Cruz—the latter of whom joined Inner Wave circa Apoptosis—co-producing the record.

Their live trajectory includes landmark performances such as headlining Mexico City’s Auditorio Nacional—one of the most important venues in the Latin region—along with two sold-out shows at the iconic Teatro Metropólitan. Their international touring history spans packed venues in Madrid, Barcelona, Portugal, Caracas, Buenos Aires, Santiago, Lima, and Bogotá, as well as standout appearances on the main stages of major festivals including Lollapalooza Chile and Tecate Pa’l Norte, solidifying Los Mesoneros as a high-impact live band with a strong connection to their audience.
In 2019, the band released their third studio album, Pangea, one of the most successful projects of their career. The album featured standout songs such as “Te Lo Advertí” and “Últimas Palabras” and earned a Latin Grammy nomination for Best Pop/Rock Album, reaffirming their position within the Latin alternative scene.
In 2024, Los Mesoneros unveiled their fourth studio album, Nuestro Año, a record that marks a clear artistic and sonic evolution. The album expands their musical identity through the use of vintage keyboards, orchestral arrangements, influences from ’70s pop and rock, and subtle hip-hop elements, paired with more introspective and mature lyricism. Nuestro Año received a Latin Grammy nomination in 2024, further strengthening the band’s critical and industry recognition.
Looking ahead to 2026, Los Mesoneros are preparing a new creative chapter focused on fresh music and expanded international touring, reaffirming their long-term vision and their status as one of the most influential and enduring bands of their generation.
About Inner Wave:
Inner Wave’s fifth full-length represents a massive leap for the California indie-rock outfit, honing their winning melodic instincts that have already wowed listeners and live audiences to zero in on the sharpest and richest version of their sound yet. At once broadly appealing and inarguably personal, See You When I Get Back recalls the lush psych-pop of Tame Impala, the Sea and Cake’s cool-handed post-rock, and the glowing synth fantasias of Neon Indian’s Alan Palomo. But for anyone who’s followed them thus far, these 12 tracks are unmistakably Inner Wave, all the while kicking the door open when it comes to new sonic possibilities for the group.
See You When I Get Back is Inner Wave’s Nettwerk debut and proper follow-up to 2021’s dreamy Apoptosis, a record that provided a wealth of new opportunities for the group after years of honing their sound in their hometown of Gardena. “We grew up playing house shows there and even shot our first music video there,” lead vocalist Pablo Sotelo explains. “Most of our childhood was spent skating around Gardena in between practices. It’s a town that’s been good to us.”
Following Apoptosis, Inner Wave underwent an onslaught of touring that spanned three entire years. “When we made that record, we didn’t know if we were ever going to tour again—so we took every opportunity we could,” Sotelo explains—and such a busy schedule meant a protracted creative process for their next record, as a brief demoing session in 2022 was eventually abandoned. “We didn’t have the opportunity to sit down somewhere comfortably and write much,” guitarist Elijah Trujillo admits.
As life on the road began to slow, Inner Wave eventually decamped to their rehearsal space (lovingly dubbed “The Swamp”), where See You When I Get Back began to come together over the past year. “We got very detail-oriented with the sonics of the album and started recording in many different ways we hadn’t tried before,” Sotelo explains. That try-anything-once approach was certainly encouraged by him and keyboardist/engineer Jose Cruz—the latter of whom joined Inner Wave circa Apoptosis—co-producing the record.

That try-anything-once approach was certainly encouraged by him and keyboardist/engineer Jose Cruz—the latter of whom joined Inner Wave circa Apoptosis—co-producing the record.
About Los Mesoneros:
Los Mesoneros, originally formed in Venezuela by Luis Jiménez, Juan Sucre, and Carlos Sardi, have built an international career within the Latin rock-pop scene, backed by eight Latin Grammy nominations and a powerful live presence that has positioned them among the region’s most respected acts.
Their live trajectory includes landmark performances such as headlining Mexico City’s Auditorio Nacional—one of the most important venues in the Latin region—along with two sold-out shows at the iconic Teatro Metropólitan. Their international touring history spans packed venues in Madrid, Barcelona, Portugal, Caracas, Buenos Aires, Santiago, Lima, and Bogotá, as well as standout appearances on the main stages of major festivals including Lollapalooza Chile and Tecate Pa’l Norte, solidifying Los Mesoneros as a high-impact live band with a strong connection to their audience.
In 2019, the band released their third studio album, Pangea, one of the most successful projects of their career. The album featured standout songs such as “Te Lo Advertí” and “Últimas Palabras” and earned a Latin Grammy nomination for Best Pop/Rock Album, reaffirming their position within the Latin alternative scene.
In 2024, Los Mesoneros unveiled their fourth studio album, Nuestro Año, a record that marks a clear artistic and sonic evolution. The album expands their musical identity through the use of vintage keyboards, orchestral arrangements, influences from ’70s pop and rock, and subtle hip-hop elements, paired with more introspective and mature lyricism. Nuestro Año received a Latin Grammy nomination in 2024, further strengthening the band’s critical and industry recognition.
Looking ahead to 2026, Los Mesoneros are preparing a new creative chapter focused on fresh music and expanded international touring, reaffirming their long-term vision and their status as one of the most influential and enduring bands of their generation.
About Inner Wave:
Inner Wave’s fifth full-length represents a massive leap for the California indie-rock outfit, honing their winning melodic instincts that have already wowed listeners and live audiences to zero in on the sharpest and richest version of their sound yet. At once broadly appealing and inarguably personal, See You When I Get Back recalls the lush psych-pop of Tame Impala, the Sea and Cake’s cool-handed post-rock, and the glowing synth fantasias of Neon Indian’s Alan Palomo. But for anyone who’s followed them thus far, these 12 tracks are unmistakably Inner Wave, all the while kicking the door open when it comes to new sonic possibilities for the group.
See You When I Get Back is Inner Wave’s Nettwerk debut and proper follow-up to 2021’s dreamy Apoptosis, a record that provided a wealth of new opportunities for the group after years of honing their sound in their hometown of Gardena. “We grew up playing house shows there and even shot our first music video there,” lead vocalist Pablo Sotelo explains. “Most of our childhood was spent skating around Gardena in between practices. It’s a town that’s been good to us.”
