Dream World



We first caught wind of Jack Tatum's bedroom pop project Wild Nothing when the Virginia native put out a shoegazing cover of Kate Bush's "Cloudbusting" earlier this year. He employs the same introspective melancholy on "Live in Dreams" - a hauntingly hazy love song that has Tatum sounding like a sedated Morrissey singing about cigarettes and suicide. "Pretty face, could you make the jump with me? I'm dying just to let things go," he begs with such a poignant sentimentality that after listening you'll be left dazed and dreaming of forgotten first kisses and warm summer rain. Wild Nothing's debut LP is due out on Brooklyn's Captured Tracks sometime next year.

  1. yeah a nice track. seems he's falling into his own form of fuzzy dream-pop quite easily. his stuff definitely makes for an anticipated LP
