 “a project that has virtually perfected the art of writing about romance”
– Vulture, Summer Music Preview

“an intoxicating, pristine cut of melancholy pop”
– The A.V. Club, 2018’s Second Half Preview

“A retro sensibility is nothing new for Tatum, but the urge sounds more fleshed out on
[‘Letting Go’], more bright and ambitious. . . The effort to stay true to his digital
creations shines through in the tight, sparkly rendering.” — Stereogum

“[‘Letting Go’]s chiming guitar and Tatum’s sweet falsetto in the chorus bring you to a pastel-painted room where there’s a slow-motion pillow fight going on.” — Paste

“On ‘Letting Go,’ Jack Tatum’s Wild Nothing project is working in familiar dreamy and nostalgic territory, though this is a little more frenetic and muscular than usual. By the time the bridge hits, though, Wild Nothing shows a willingness to experiment and wade into uncomfortable waters. It’s enough to pique interest into what’s to come.” – Uproxx

Wild Nothing, the project of Los Angeles-based Jack Tatum, will release his fourth album, Indigo, on August 31st via Captured Tracks. He’ll tour North America for a month beginning mid-October with newly announced support, Men I Trust. After presenting the chiming guitar and sweeping synths of lead single, “Letting Go,” Wild Nothing now shares the ’80s-heavy “Partners In Motion” featuring saxophonist Taylor Plenn. As discussed with FADER, it’s a song he’s been inching towards for years.

Recorded at LA’s Sunset Sound and produced by Tatum and Jorge Elbrecht, Indigo is its own cyborg world, utilizing the artful mechanisms of human touch with the precision of technology to create the classic, pristine sound Tatum has been seeking his entire career. After a decade of making music as Wild Nothing, Indigo finds Tatum at his most efficient, calculated, and confident. It’s both a return to the fresh, transcendent sweep of his debut, 2010’s Gemini, and a culmination of heights reached, paths traveled, and lessons learned while creating the follow-ups, Nocturne and Life of Pause.

To make Indigo, Tatum confronted the Man vs. Machine dichotomy by seizing on the surrounding synergy. In his studio, he would write pieces of songs with whatever instruments and programs held his interest on any given day. He built a series of highly detailed demos, intending to record the final package swiftly with a live band in a studio and in a clear, bright, 1980’s-inspired fidelity. “I wanted it to sound like a classic studio record, as close as I could get it there. It just boils down to me wanting to fit into some larger narrative, musically, in terms of these artists I love,” says Tatum. “I think about how my music will age. Ideas of ‘timeless’ are going to be different—so if Indigo is not timeless then it’s at least ‘out of time.’”
