Editor's note

Wild Nothing's dreamy, atmospheric pop project

Jack Tatum's solo venture that began with bedroom recordings and evolved into a consistent mood of melodic, reverb-heavy sound.

For a quick sense of the project, try 'Chinatown' from the debut or 'Counting Days' from later work, both capture that consistent, atmospheric mood pretty well.

The project caught attention with the sparse, reverb-heavy 'Golden Haze' EP in 2009, and songs like 'Chinatown' from the 2010 debut became fan favorites. Later albums like 'Nocturne' earned critical praise for blending electronic touches with that signature atmospheric feel. Tracks such as 'Counting Days' and 'Letting Go' maintain the project's core mood of melodic, introspective pop across its shifts.

Wild Nothing started as Jack Tatum's solo project around 2009, after his time in the band Pela. The sound moved from the reverb-heavy early work to more electronic touches on 'Nocturne' in 2012, then to dance-oriented feels on 'Indigo' and introspective turns on 'Life of Pause'. The 2019 album 'Laughing Gas' was seen as a return to the dreamier style.
