Wild Nothing (formed in 2009) is the indie-rock, synth-infused dream pop project of former Jack and the Whale member John Tatum, who rose to blogosphere esteem in 2010 with his debut album “Gemini”, hailing from Blacksburg, Virginia, U.S.

John Alexander Tatum a.k.a. Jack Tatum had been slowly raising his profile during his teenage years as a musician in the bands Jack and the Whale and FACEPAINT, in his hometown of Blacksburg. In the summer of 2009 however, Tatum began writing and recording breezy, laid back summer soundtracks under the moniker Wild Nothing. Alongside the likes of Pains of Being Pure at Heart and Beach Fossils, who were also gaining attention for their similar musical output, Tatum’s profile was first raised when his cover of Kate Bush’s “Cloudbusting” started making waves in indie circles.

The success of the cover and subsequent tracks led Wild Nothing to sign with Captured Tracks and began touring with the musicians Jeff Haley (bass), Nathan Goodman (guitar), and Max Brooks (drums). Ahead of their debut album, the band issued the single “Summer Holiday” in 2009, followed shortly afterwards by “Cloudbusting”. The following year in May, Wild Nothing issued their debut studio album “Gemini” to a wave of critical acclaim, including a feature on Pitchforks’ Best Albums of 2010. Whilst failing to make inroads into the charts, the record endeared Tatum to the hearts of indie-music lovers the world over, and raised anticipation for future releases.

Briding the gap between another full-length release, Tatum et al. issued the EP “Golden Haze”, complete with percussive bells, clean guitars and laboured, love-inflected lyrics. Featuring Nicolas Vernhes on production duties, Wild Nothing’s sophomore full-length “Nocturne” arrived in 2012. Record at Rare Book Room Studios, the record was an extension of previous work with added skills, experience and maturity, and topped the U.S. Heatseekers Chart. Marked by Tatum’s most experimental and genre-defying work to date, he released the EP “Empty Estate” in 2013.

Live reviews

Wild Nothing are a fairly new band, having only been around since around 2009. Mastermind Jack Tatum writes all the music himself, and got friends Nathan Goodman, Jeff Haley, Kevin Knight, and Jeremiah Johnson on guitar, bass, keyboards, and drums, respectively, to play with him.

Wild Nothing's music is reminiscent of artists featured on the 1986 compilation C86 released by NME. However, Wild Nothing stand on their own. They have a sound that is completely unique to them, combining elements of post-punk, dream pop, and shoegaze. This band is definitely amazing in their own way.

This becomes even more evident during a live event. In an outdoor venue during the daytime, the crowd gathers a while before the band even shows up, just chatting amongst themselves as they wait patiently. When the band does show up, Jack simply greets them with a hello and says "We're Wild Nothing" as they begin to play the first song of their set. The band cheers as they begin to play. The communication with the audience is also kept to a minimum.

Jack sometimes asks the crowd how their doing, but otherwise he lets the music speak for itself. The audience simply watches on as the band play their music. The entire atmosphere is completely laid-back, which is to be expected, since this sort of music is perfect for having a relaxing time.

Did not disappoint!! Amazing show from start to finish. Johnny Brenda’s is a great old school venue to see a show. It was crowded but not overly so; fortunately I was able to get a great view on the first floor and has arrived 10/15 min prior to the band coming on. They were tight on time and sounded fantastic/ very crisp and clear. Really talented musicians (even included sax solos!) and to have only paid $25 didn’t seem quite right. I would be willing to pay much more! Was considering going to see them on the 2nd night. I lol forward to their next tour and additional music they putt out. Would highly recommend to any indie music fan to see this excellent band!! Thanks for a fantastic evening

My experience to go see Wild Nothing was heart-breaking yet funny, at the same time. Sadly, I did not go see the band. Had money to purchase tickets but did not have money to drive three hours to Austin, for their concert. So, I went to a bbq I was invited to for the night and drink with some friends. It was when I reached for my cooler in the trunk, I noticed a graduation card my grandmother gave to me. Inside it was more than enough money to buy my ticket, pay for enough gas for two round trips, and any festivities. In a way, it was not meant for me to go but could only imagine being able to see this band bring their sound to life...right in front of me. Still giving Wild Nothing five stars.

I Fernandez + Wild Nothing @ Village Underground.

A wonderful show in a very nice location.

The gig was sold out, and the venue was packed.

The support was J Fernandez, a band that mixes various musical styles: from the retro sound of the ‘60 to post rock. They played an interesting gig, really.

The main act was Wild Nothing and their performance was great! They played songs from the latest album “Indigo” but also some gems of the past taken from Gemini but even from the ep “Evertide” (Golden Haze). Jack Tatum was happy to play in London, and the crowd was very touched by the dreamy sound of the band. One of those gigs to be remembered for a very lomg time.

So this show was awesome, Jack Tatum and crew played a mixture of their new album and also their older great songs. To me, there's nothing worse when a band will only play songs from their new album they are trying to sell, and thankfully this didn't happen. They had a great sound, and the audience had a really mellow and great vibe (maybe because it was 4/20? I dunno..). Regardless, I've been a huge fan for years and am pleasantly surprised at how great they sounded live! Some bands are studio bands, some bands are better live, but Wild Nothing seems to have a solid grasp on both! A+!

The only bad thing I'd say about this concert is that it ended so fast... I could be there for my whole life. Tatum and his band have a hypnotic feature, the pumping bass, the heavy drumming and the all-around guitars and keys, I was deeply impressed.

Listening to Wild Nothing is a really emotional thing for me, and to hear the songs LIVE for the first time, it was even better: I cried throughout the whole thing, even before they started I was already trying to hold the tears... as soon as Reichpop started, though, I just couldn't.

This concert was incredible. It was an amazing and memorable experience. The band played a few songs from Indigo as well as other Wild Nothing classics though I was quite disappointed that they didn't play Blue Wings. They signed my ticket and my Wild Nothing t-shirt! Wild Nothing's music is pure art. I LOVED EVERY SECOND.

These guys were amazing live. I started listening to them after hearing their song “Chinatown” I was instantly hooked. They gave off a beachy sound with an 80s vibe. Amazing Set. Guitars were mesmerizing. I will definitely be seeing them when they come back again! So worth the $20!

This band is good!

Good show. Good mix of old and new from Gemini and nocturne. Good crowd as well, not stuck up in the slightest. Changed it up with a live saxophone, which was surprisingly good (I usually am not a fan of the sax)

10/10 would nothing again.

AMAZINGGGG!! It was one of my favorite concert. Been a fan since 2010. They sound even better live. The Setlist was on point from Gemini to Indigo. It was such a sweaty venue but regardless their performance were 10/10. Thanks for coming to JKT.

Wild Nothing Announce Tour and First Album in 5 Years, Share Video for New Song: Watch

By Hattie Lindert

Wild Nothing have announced their first new album since 2018: Hold is out October 27 via Captured Tracks . The announcement comes with the lead single, “ Headlights On ,” featuring Hatchie. Check out the video for the new song below. Also below, find Wild Nothing’s upcoming tour dates.

Jack Tatum made his new Wild Nothing album with guest contributions from his wife, Dana, as well as Hatchie, Molly Burch, Becca Mancari, and Beach Fossils’ Tommy Davidson. “I’ve sat with this record for a very long time now, so, naturally, I’m both excited and apprehensive to let it see the light,” Tatum said in a press statement. “It’s my first record as a father. My first self-produced record since my debut. It’s a record that deals in existential themes, but doesn’t always take itself too seriously. It’s not afraid of pop, but it’s hopefully not afraid to be strange either. It has fun, gets sad, dwells in the quiet moments and embraces the loud ones. It’s me doing what I love and feeling grateful for it.”

Hold follows the 2018 Wild Nothing LP Indigo and the 2020 EP Laughing Gas .

Wild Nothing

Because “Hold,” Jack Tatum’s fifth album under the moniker Wild Nothing, was written in the aftermath of new parenthood during the pandemic, it was probably inevitable that it would be searching and existential music. But during the recording process, the artist known for synth-pop tastefulness took it as an opportunity to reach for a new sonic maximalism and wider set of influences.

With contributions from longtime collaborator Jorge Elbrecht, Tommy Davidson of Beach Fossils and Hatchie’s Harriette Pilbeam, first single “Headlights On” features an acid house-worthy bass groove and breakbeat that prove Tatum is playing for the rafters.

But that club ambiance is misdirection. “It’s a fun song, but lyrically, it’s about my wife and I going through one of the worst times in our relationship,” Tatum said. “I don’t know why, but I’ve always been so drawn to these kinds of juxtapositions and striking these balances.”

Tatum produced the rest of the record on his own, partially out of necessity, due to the challenges of the pandemic. “More than anything, this record reminded me of working on my first LP. Just truly being holed up in this room, alone with no input for such a long time,” he said. The songs were eventually brought to Adrian Olsen at Montrose Recording in Richmond to begin recording drums and filling in the gaps. While largely a product of isolation, Hold also reflects the things Tatum has learned from collaborators, both on previous records and during his acclaimed work with Japanese Breakfast and Molly Burch.

The rest of the record was mixed by Geoff Swan, who listeners might know for his work with Caroline Polachek and Charli XCX. “I reached out to Geoff because I wanted to find someone that could help me make this sound as big as possible,” he said. “I’ve always been very inspired by and attracted to big tent ’80s acts. Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush are two of my biggest influences ever because they clearly never shied away from that kind of ambition.” Swan put Tatum’s vocals high in the mix, and throughout the album, he embraces playful vocal processing like never before.

On “Basement El Dorado,” he sings about searching for heaven in a ruined world. “It’s a little bratty, but it’s also really about genuinely wishing there was a heaven—wouldn’t it be nice?” he said. “I didn’t want to get too heavy-handed about global warming and how the world is on fire, but I still wanted to get at the idea that this is what we’ve got. At least that’s how I view it. Heaven is a place on earth, and this is all we have.”

Tatum wasn’t necessarily thinking about spirituality back in 2019 when he started playing around with songs that would eventually make up Hold, but of course, life soon intervened. Back in February 2020, he had finished setting up a home studio in his Richmond house when his son was born. Weeks later, lockdown orders went out, and the sleepless nights of early parenthood slid into an even more profound isolation.

“Bringing new life into the world drastically changes how you define yourself and what your purpose is,” he said. “Before, I wrapped up so much of myself in my music and all of it, the writing, the traveling. That was really who I thought I was. The double whammy of having a kid and not being able to do that anymore—it exposed a lot about what is important to me. It made me understand much better why people gravitate to divine beliefs or why it feels so good to attempt to have an answer.”

Without eschewing the atmospheric avant-pop of his main influences, his existential moment did open a few new windows. “Early pandemic when my son was still an infant, one of the few things that I oddly found really calmed me down was dance music. I had so many sleepless nights awake with my headphones on, my son in his little sleeping pod next to me. Meanwhile I’d be listening to Underworld. Somehow it set my brain right”.

It’s hard to break new ground when writing about parenthood, but on Hold, Tatum leans into its exaltant mundanity and approaches the big questions obliquely. The baby is wide awake, the car is easing down the road, people are checking their reflections in the mirror.

Tatum moved from Los Angeles back to his home state of Virginia about five years ago in search of a scaled-back lifestyle. The relatively suburban environment—and the occasional regret it inspired—proved to be great artistic fodder. “You can make a big decision and be fully committed to it, know 100 percent that it’s the right choice and still have these moments of “Did we fuck up? Was this really the best thing for us to do?””

It’s the paradox of modern America—the suburbs are supposed to be stultifying to art, but they are so full of human desperation perfect for dramatizing. On “Suburban Solutions”, he presents an anti-jingle with an acidly bright synthesizer melody, imploring you to sign on the dotted line, put your feet up, and embrace sweet oblivion.

Adding to the song’s menacing cheeriness is a chorus-sung bridge, made with assistance from Molly Burch and Tatum’s wife, Dana, It was loosely inspired by the classic Martika song “Toy Soldiers” and the long-ago pop craze for children’s choirs, and he embraces the trend’s less-than-stellar reputation. “What’s so wonderful about being someone who is borderline obsessed with 80s music and is making music in 2023 is that I didn’t live through it. So I have no skin in the game about what was cool or not at the time.”

By design, Hold dwells in uncertainty and fear, but in a package that encourages meditation and some levity.

“In the face of the pandemic, I think being a parent really forced my hand,” Tatum said. “I felt that I had no other choice but to have a positive outlook on the world. Because if I were to give in at any moment and say, “Oh, everything is horrible,” then I’ll feel as if I’ve lost and I’ve given up on my son being able to thrive in this world.”

Peel Dream Magazine

Peel Dream Magazine is the nom-de-plume of Los Angeles songwriter Joseph Stevens. Drawing on kosmische, shoegaze, baroque pop, and retro electronica, the band emerged from New York City’s vibrant DIY scene with its 2018 debut Modern Meta Physic, which Aquarium Drunkard hailed as “one of the more true inheritors of the mantle of Stereolab to emerge in some time”. Eighteen months later, the band released their more aggressive sophomore LP Agitprop Alterna, which proved to be a breakout success. Pitchfork described it as “a term paper on Bertolt Brecht and Karl Marx, written to a soundtrack of Tropicália, motorik, and library music,” and NPR’s Lars Gotrich as “fuzz bliss”. Unable to tour due to quarantine, Stevens quietly relocated his project to the west coast, where he picked up work composing for ads and film. In 2022, Sophie Allison of Soccer Mommy invited the band to open for them on a US tour.

During breaks from the road, Stevens completed a third album – Pad – which was released later that year. Breaking with his previous LPs, Pad is a conceptual work about Stevens fictitiously getting kicked out of his own band (spoiler: they let him back in). Draped in midcentury bleeps and bloops, it contains a brooding, dark psychedelia reminiscent of cultishly beloved late 60s-era Beach Boys, and as Stereogum proclaimed, “portends a softer, more elegant sound.” The album broke further ground for the band, who went on to do a London residency in early 2023 and a European tour shortly thereafter. After returning from Europe, the band made their SXSW debut. Loud and soft, subversive and easy-listening, Peel Dream Magazine blurs the very lines it invites you to define it by. But at its core is a dedication to songcraft above all else – a breath of fresh air, no doubt.
