Evertide (EP)
1. Your Rabbit Feet
2. Golden Haze
3. Take Me In
Wild Nothing is a one-man maestro by the name of Jack Tatum. A lo-fi deity in the making with his pensive 80s flavoured shoegaze. C86, shoegaze and 1980s British pop are obvious influences but he offers far more than mere imitation and worship. He is an architect to the songs and a sculptor to their sound, engineering beautiful layered songs with interweaving melodies just urging you to hum along.
The three tracks on Evertide grab you by the hand as they meander,
dance and tease a sweet melody from the skyline of hazy guitars.
Playful, swelling and layered songs that crescendo along with his
searching voice that soars from inner thought to confessional plea.
Melancholic musings are set against lyrical guitar lines and melodic
basslines that wouldn’t sound out of place if New Order had ever mated
with Ride and then gone on to secretly date The Cure.
Wild Nothing knows a little about the physics of love. He sings
from a place of both innocence and despair where hearts soar at the
heady throes of first romance, to the heartache of lost love. He sings
with a heart-stopping voice that is sweet and desperate in equal
measures. Desires, hopes and fears laid bare. Expressing things you’ve
wanted to say but couldn’t find the words to. Heroic love songs that you
wish had been written for you. That these songs come from just one
person only confirms the personal nature. He owns these songs entirely.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
