Wavves frontman Nathan Williams’ Ghost Ramp label is set to issue split 7-inch with Weezer and Wavves. The two bands announced the upcoming release through Twitter yesterday.
The 7-inch contains two tracks, a previously unreleased Weezer track, “Fake Smiles and Nervous Laughter”, and a Wavves cover of Pinkerton era B-side “You Gave Your Love to Me Softly.” There is no set release date, but the 7-inch is available for presale September 12. Only 2,000 copies will be issued, 1,000 records in transparent blue and the other 1,000 being standard black.

With Wavves, Williams has released six studio LP’s, including a collaborative LP (No Life For Me) with Cloud Nothings. Their last LP, 2015’s V, received general critical acclaim.
