Although Wild Nothing was previously a home recorded project, the "Nowhere" 7" was recorded in a studio with live instrumentation and vocals from Twin Sister's Andrea Estella. Listen to the new single below. Read more »

One-man dream pop artist Jack Tatum, aka Wild Nothing , has been rather quiet since the 2010 release of his debut album Gemini , but, on February 21st, Tatum will be releasing the two-track 7" single "Nowhere." Tatum has also let loose "Nowhere," the a-side on the upcoming single, which features guest vocals from Twin Sister's Andrea Estella. The track is available to stream below. The "Nowhere" single is set for release on February 21st, and will be backed by b-side "Wait." The single is available for pre-order on the Captured [...]
![[Listen] – Wild Nothing & Beach Fossils Cover The Wake – “Gruesome Flowers”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3370145_lg.jpg)
Now, let me preface this with an admission that I haven't listened to a single song by The Wake, which I'm guessing will be tantamount to sacrilege, being that I'm Scottish and all, and The Wake are all Scottish and shit too. But, just because I'm from Scotland doesn't mean I should be expected to know everything my homeland exports, but I will say that canned Haggis is pretty good but nothing compared to the real deal. Anyway, for Record Store Day today, Captured Tracks , the label that's released recent gems by Craft Spells , Dum [...]
This Saturday (known across the globe as Record Store Day ) Brooklyn based imprint Captured Tracks will be releasing three 7” singles to commemorate Scottish punk rockers the Wake, two of which will feature their own material, and one which includes covers from two 80s inspired outfits, friends and colleagues Beach Fossils and Wild Nothing.

![[Listen] – Britney Spears – “Til The World Ends” (The Morning Benders Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3334905_lg.jpg)
Now before you start giving me shit for posting Britney Spears, I DON'T CARE! Actually I do, but I'm not posting Britney I'm posting The Morning Benders . Just like when ceo did a cover of "Halo" by Beyonce or Frightened Rabbit did "Hit Me Baby One More Time", remixes are in the same vein. I mentioned on Twitter on Saturday afternoon to Jheri from GetOffTheCoast that on Frank Ocean's new mixtape he's made Coldplay listenable again, and The Morning Benders have made Britney listenable with this remix. Don't get me wrong, Britney's [...]
![[Introducing] – White Laces](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3332687_lg.jpg)
I'm sometimes amazed at the music that I hear. Scrabbling through the inbox you can be presented with bands that have been around for years touting their latest EP, download or YouTube vid. They seem to keep plugging but never get anywhere and when you listen to them you realise why - they sound like they only started playing their instruments last week. Then you stumble across a band like White Laces from Richmond VA. Incredibly they only came together less than a year ago but sound more self-assured then those other bands I was talking about. They [...]

Last years Big Echo was a record of brilliant Californian guitar-pop and now The Morning Benders have returned in honour of a great cause. The release of the Japan Echo EP is designed to raise money to benefit the rescue efforts after the devastating earthquake, tsunami and consequent nuclear disaster in Japan - the country in which singer Chris Chu was born. The 8 track EP features 6 remixes of previously released tracks from Wild Nothing and Star Slinger amongst others. There's also a couple of [...]
![[Listen/Download] – New Song By The Morning Benders – “Better In Blue”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3317718_lg.jpg)
This song could suck donkey balls and I'd still post it. Why? Because it's for a good cause, dammit, that's why! It was actually released a few days ago as part of an EP The Morning Benders have released where they're donating all of the profits to help out the relief effort in Japan after it was hit by the earthquake and Tsunami. The EP "Japan Echo" had various remixes by other artists such as Star Slinger , Wild Nothing , Twin Sister and more, as well as this unreleased song by [...]
While the Morning Benders have (hopefully) been crafting another album as awesome as Big Echo , they took the time today to drop a new album of all exclusive material to benefit Japan and all the hardships they have been going through. According to Stereogum, Chris Chu, frontman of the Morning Benders, was born in Japan, and was a week away from playing his first concert in the country before the disaster struck. I just gave it a purchase/listen and let me tell you, it is worth every penny and all the satisfaction that comes along with helping out [...]

![[Listen/Download] – PS I Love You – “Leftovers” (Featuring Diamond Rings)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3214358_lg.jpg)
Back in 2009, PS I Love You teamed up with Diamond Rings on a split 73 that yielded the irresistibly catchy "All Yr Songs" from Diamond Rings. That track introduced John O'Regan a/k/a Diamond Rings' infectious baritone to the masses, spawning critical love and hatred in equal measures. Somewhat forgotten in that critical tsunami was the flip-side of that 73, "Facelove" by PS I Love You. Well, O'Regan has returned to help his former wax partners by lending his vocals to "Leftovers," which PS I Love You will release as a single on February 22nd. Earlier this week [...]
![[Listen/Download] – New Song By Beach Fossils – “Out In The Way”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3207911_lg.jpg)
On February 22nd, Beach Fossils will unleash a new EP via Captured Tracks . What a pleasure. Ironically, the EP is entitled "What A Pleasure" , and will feature a collaboration with Jack Tatum, better known as Wild Nothing and the track, "Out In The Way," features a bolder sound than anything we've previously heard from Beach Fossils. For those familiar with Beach Fossils' laconic guitar lines and understated vocals, though, do not fret - Beach Fossils' signature sound remains largely intact, just more fully developed. It is unclear whether that is a result of Wild Nothing's welcome [...]
Photography by me. "Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time." - John Lubbock I've been toying with the idea of putting together a mixtape for a while now and I think that as we (or at least I) mourn the end of Summer (today, September 21st is the last day of [...]

Wild Nothing : Golden Haze - MP3 Après avoir sorti Gemini , un premier LP, fin mai, Wild Nothing continue de composer sa dream-pop aérienne et subtilement mélancolique. Le band, emmené par Jacques Tatum, s’apprête à sortir chez Captured Tracks un nouveau EP dont la tracklist changera selon le support. On est certain qu’un titre au moins sera en commun à ces différents formats, Golden Haze ( MP3 ), titre phare du maxi.
This new track from Wild Nothing is taken off of an upcoming EP of the same name, due out hopefully sometime this year on Captured Tracks , the dudes who released their stellar debut album "Gemini" earlier this year. Even though this track made the rounds about 6 weeks ago , "Golden Haze" wasn't available as a download back then, but now it is. According to Dodge over at My Old Kentucky Blog , the EP will be released on different formats (123, CD, digitally) and each one will have a different tracklisting, but [...]
![[Listen/Download] – Two Brand New Songs By Wild Nothing – “Your Rabbit Feet” and “Golden Haze”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2651935_lg.jpg)
The last time I featured Wild Nothing the world was a completely different place. A lot's changed in seven days . Actually things are pretty much the same, except for the fact that we've got a new song by Wild Nothing, this time the sound of it more than the Jack's voice reminds me of The Smiths, his voice sounding more like Alec Ounsworth from Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. The song is part of an EP called "Evertide" on new label Warmest Chord who instead of releasing music on 17 different formats [...]
I'm not sure what the weather's like where you are but right here on the east coast of the U.S. it's between "Hot" and "Hotter". That's pretty hot, but I love the heat and gravitate towards as much of it as my body can handle. When I was younger my parents brought my brother and I over to the west coast of the U.S. and I wanted to see what it'd be like if I went for a run in Death Valley, in the middle of August. When I got back into the car I lost about 19 pounds in [...]

Wild Nothing : The Witching Hour Wild Nothing ne nous est pas inconnu. En janvier, nous savourions l’excellent Chinatown de ce jeunot américain. Il y a quelques jours est sorti Gemini , son premier album dont est extrait cet excellent The Witching Hour ( MP3 ). Vaporeux, moite, éthéré… Un titre idéal pour cette époque transitoire entre printemps et été. Côté affinités, Wild Nothing [...]
