Sweet Valley is a band of brotherly love.

If you've been riding the Wavves since day one, you know garage-rock frontman Nathan Williams always brings the fuzz. The L.A. indie troublemaker and Best Coast main squeeze's new side project does that and more, expanding his template from fist-pumping amp destruction to electronic-influenced experimental weirdness. The syrup-soaked new band Sweet Valley is a collaboration with his brother Kynan, but the duo probably won't be playing lead single "Total Carnage" at the next family reunion.

The offbeat track opens with a vintage rock sample chopped and screwed into A$AP Rocky territory, before bouncing into an almost-danceable instrumental that's equal parts melodic bits, along with stretched-out textures and gritty percussion. "I wanted to make a soundtrack to getting drunk this summer, and this is what I thought it should sound like," Williams told Spin. While "Total Carnage" itself won't get rowdy and throw up all over your mom's new couch, it should keep things interesting at your next pool party.

The brother band's debut album, Stay Calm, is due Aug. 7 on Fool's Gold.
