Say Anything and Wavves are releasing a joint album titled “Cherry Soda,” with the project announced alongside the debut of a new single. Multiple outlets report that the collaboration is led by longtime frontmen Max Bemis of Say Anything and Nathan Williams of Wavves. The first single from the album is “Deathx1k,” which is presented as the record’s lead track. In connection with the release, the artists share promotional material for “Deathx1k,” including a claymation-styled video highlighted in reporting from one outlet. Another outlet describes the single’s sound and presentation as drawing on early-2000s mall emo influences. The album is scheduled for release on September 18, according to the coverage. While the outlets differ in how they characterize the single’s style, they consistently frame the news as an unexpected but official collaboration between the two bands, marking a new shared release after each artist’s earlier separate work in their respective pop-punk and lo-fi rock scenes.
