Both horrible! I reject!
PS - WAVVES is another artist on the Pop Crossover Hope list (stuff is out on Subpop I think?) But I am not impressed.
There will be pop-knockoffs as always. (Tiny Masters Of Today are a cute one that kinda works.)
Usually once the Man is trying to give a spurious name to the "scene", it's a sign of impending doom. And it usually involves the lumping together of many disparate artists who have very little in common other than, say, liking VU, having a particular haircut or being from a particular geographic area. Hopefully this isn't the case here.
