Suburban Living is the one man project of Norfolk, VA’s Wesley Bunch.  Bunch’s newest single “Always Eyes” is a lush dream pop song that sounds almost like Stephen Morris sat in on Wild Nothing set.  Excellent guitar and hook synth lines make a great shoegazey single for your sunny afternoon.  First thing we’ve heard from Suburban Living, but won’t be the last.

Jack Tatum’s is set to release the next Wild Nothing record Nocturne and from the sound of “Paradise” it will not not disappoint.  The first taste from the album finds Tatum a little more upbeat and even branching out to new instruments (is that a flute in the background?) while holding true to his languid vocal approach.  Nocturne is due out August 28th on Captured Tracks.

New Artist

Wild Nothing is the solo project of Virginia-based musician Jack Tatum.  Tatum’s woozy dream-pop can draw easy comparisons to The Cure and The Smiths.  He began recording under Wild Nothing a mere year ago and has already received rave reviews for his ethereal debut Gemini sending him on a healthy tour including an opening spot with Stars.  Don’t let my descriptives throw you though.  Tatum has a keen grasp on pop songwriting and his music demonstrates that.  Gemini is currently out on Captured Tracks and Wild Nothing is out on tour equipped with backing band.  Listen to some of cuts from Gemini and find out when Wild Nothing shows up in your town here.
