Love is Paradise. Created by Jack Tatum in 2009, Wild Nothing released their cult pop album Nocturne last summer and it's sure one album to have in your life. Here's the visual for "Paradise".
In 2k12, I fell out of love with the indie music scene . My mind became clouded with the rise of the undeserving buzzbands, the broken way that blogs think they are supposed to post as much bullshit as possible, and my own drive to 'stay alive' by blogging abt shit that I don't even care about. I often think back to what 'formative spirit of indie' possessed me to even enjoy 'the scene' enough to start a blog about it. I've been trying to rediscover the elements that made it all fun. I forgot how 2 [...]
Perhaps Nocturne is the atmospheric pop opus that Wild Nothing has been building up to ever since Jack Tatum’s winsome debut Gemini turned up in 2010. For his sophomore album, Tatum taps into an echo chamber of dark, subterranean pop nostalgia that lulls the listener into false paradises without ever losing grip of the songs’ melodic vitality. Nocturne thrives on that sort of ephemera and obscure objects of memory that are miraculously transmitted — only in dreams. - Keith . [...]
Wild Nothing snuck up on a lot of people with 20102s Gemini LP , a record made by then 21 year old Virgina Tech student Jack Tatum on his own in his Blacksburg bedroom. Before Tatum knew it, the album's melancholy dream pop sounds had charmed their way into the heads and hearts of an unexpectedly large audience and thrust him into the indie limelight. Two years and countless shows later the band will make their first trip to Australia for the 2013 edition of the Golden Plains Music [...]
Jack Tatum con il suo progetto Wild Nothing arriva all’attesa seconda prova, dopo il fortunato esordio fatto in casa Gemini, nel 2010 - anticipato a Giugno dal bel singolo Shadow , e pubblicato a fine Agosto da Captured Tracks, Nocturne gode di una produzione più curata, grazie al lavoro di Nicolas Vernhes (se vi piace come suonano album come Strawberry Jam degli Animal Collective, Microcastle dei Deerhunter, o l’omonimo di Banjo or Freakout , è anche lui che dovete ringraziare):
Back in college, I took a class on Bob Marley that was really more of a socioeconomic look into the world of Jamaican culture. As the class went on, a major focus shifted to Bob’s song “Rat Race” and it’s broader meaning on a macro scale. The imagery certainly fits for any culture, as really, what are we each doing every single day besides running around the maze of life ever searching for some cheddar - or in a more literal sense, happiness and bliss. Music, well at least the albums I consider my favorites, have always provided a way [...]
Wild Nothing: Nocturne - The sophomoric album from Wild Nothing titled Nocturne dropped on August 28, arriving two years after the successful release of the debut album Gemini with the same dream pop sounds and more thoughtful production. Nocturne revolves around themes of summer and night, with plenty of love, of course. There is a consistent flow to the album in the way the songs fit together. At certain moments, the repetition of sounds and themes allows the listener to fall into a dream state, relaxed, [...]
Jack Tatum's Wild Nothing is back with the follow-up to his 2010 LP Gemini . His sophomore release is titled Nocturne and was recorded by Tatum while living in Savannah, Georgia. "Paradise" demonstrates just what we can expect from the new album. It's an atmospheric, synth-fluffed jam centered on a hazy, rainbow colored melody. Compared to the material on Gemini , it's fuller in terms of it's production and the songwriting is more mature and thoughtfully arranged. It's got me excited to hear more. Wild Nothing [...]
We promise that Wild Nothing + DIIV will amaze you. We want you to be there to experience it for yourself. On us.
Jenn Wasner of Wye Oak is releasing her second 7″ single as part of a series for her Flock of Dimes side project on Merge Records next month. "Curtain" is the single's a-side. Wasner described the lyrics as documenting "the thoughtless, obsessed joy of new love." The tune's heart and soul, however, is it's beautiful, reverb-soaked melody led by a Wurlitzer organ and warped, sparkling guitar glints. It's a slice of gorgeous, obscured pop. The single is limited to 1,000 copies so get one from Merge before they are gone. The [...]
Nocturne is an intoxicating record that unfolds with more depth after every listen.
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars Perhaps one of the greatest things about listening to Wild Nothing is being aware that the project began as an intimate bedroom affair, possibly not even meant for mass consumption. But, as with all good things, it's made its way to our ears, and with Nocturne the sounds have become more fleshed out, creating a more dynamic sound that bodes well for Jack and friends. With a title like Nocturne [...]
Off the bat, Nocturne is an absolute joy. Hats off to Jack Tatum and his band for crafting an absolute gem of an album and its conceptualisation is complete and unabridged right from the off. Everything about the album is cohesive, the name, the tracklisting, the writing, playing and production. It’s as if they created a child-proof saferoom out of music; no corners, plenty of soft edges and no shards or fragments left lying around. ‘Shadow’, the opening song, arrives with a brief, soft ethereal drone before the brightness of the guitars and deep, sparse bass [...]
WILD NOTHING seemingly materialised from nowhere with their 2010 debut Gemini , an album that took it's mastermind Jack Tatum by as much surprise as the substantial audience it ended up reaching. As a Virginia Tech student making music in his spare time at home, Tatum was approached by Captured Tracks who upon coming across some promising demo's proposed he put together an album for them. The result was some hefty praise in indie circles and a heavy [...]
Wild Nothing's new LP Nocturne - follow up to 2010's Gemini - has been highly anticipated around these parts. And now, as is the case nowadays, you can stream it in full ahead of its release next week. continue reading >>
The release date of Wild Nothing 's sophomore album, Nocturne , is inching closer and closer, and judging from "Paradise" that date can't come soon enough. The lush, dreamy synths recall the best of Depeche Mode while the light, undistorted guitars and deep, rich vocals can be traced straight back to Joy Division. Not all modern bands that are playing around with 80s sounds get it right, but Wild Nothing takes fantastic source materials and melds them into an addictive, beautiful new whole. The track is full of dancy grooves, slick beats and pure, [...]
Later this month Wild Nothing (Jack Tatum to his mother) releases his excellent new album Nocturne . As well as this, he's also lauched a cracking new website that's based entirely around the moon. Crazy kid. So to celebrate he's offered up new single, 'Paradise', as a free download. Download: Wild Nothing - Paradise For Jack Tatum , the lunar phases speak to the months he spent writing the album: "There was a great deal of restlessness that went [...]
