Nocturne

Jack Tatum, formerly of Jack and the Whale and Facepaint, began making his shimmery, synth-washed indie pop recordings under the name Wild Nothing in the summer of 2009. Emerging at a time when a handful of C-86-esque groups (e.g. Crystal Stilts, the Pains of Being Pure at Heart) were in vogue, Tatum’s project garnered a bit of buzz with a synthy, glimmering cover of Kate Bush’s “Cloudbusting. The band’s debut full-length, Gemini, was released in the spring of 2010 and garnered Wild Nothing all kinds of critical acclaim.nWild Nothing released the “Nowhere” / “Wait” seven-inch back in February, but if that wasn’t enough to sate your jangle-pop heart, you’ll be glad to know the project will deliver a new LP, Nocturne, this fall. The Jack Tatum-led troupe will release the 11-song set August 28 through Captured Tracks. While Wild Nothing issued the Golden Haze EP in late 2010, Nocturne acts as the proper follow-up to his debut album Gemini. Lead single and album opener “Shadow” will drop digitally and be pressed onto seven-inch vinyl on June 26.
