Jack Tatum aka Wild Nothing has just announced a summer tour with DIIV, Grimes, & Beach House in support of his upcoming August 28th sophomore release Nocturne. This is looking to be a great one so be sure to catch him when he’s at venue near you. I know that I will.
Wild Nothing - Nocturne
Wild Nothing-Shadow
Thanks to Captured Tracks and Jack Tatum my morning has been made. The brainchild of Tatum, Wild Nothing quickly became one of my favorite bands ever since I first heard the debut LP Gemini sometime last year and now my waiting has paid off because new information just surfaced on the group’s sophomore release. The album is titled Nocturne and it’ll drop on August 28th (27th for those of you in the UK). While Wild Nothing released their Nowhere 7” a few months back neither “Wait” or “Nowhere” will appear on the new album and despite those tracks being constantly played in my library I certainly don’t mind a fresh batch of songs at all. Along with the news of this new album also came a new single, the opening track from Nocturne which is titled “Shadow”. Though the band’s trademark hazy, dream pop style is still apparent it’s obvious in the orchestrated sound and delicate grooves of “Shadow” that Jack has created a work which is both more developed and mature than Gemini. If you head over to Pitchfork you can view the album’s tracklist as well as the dates for Wild Nothing’s upcoming tour with the likes of Grimes, DIIV, and Beach House. Now I’ve got another album to add to my calendar and with that I’m even more so convinced that this year in music will be a hard one to top.
Cerulean -
Cerulean-Fucking Wind
Since I missed out on posting yesterday, today I’m going to post a few more songs than often. Starting things off this morning is a track from Elliot and Marilyn Baker, a brother/sister duo from Denver that go by the name of Cerulean. “Fucking Wind” is the band’s first single and it’s just in time for the start of the summer. The track is layered with lush, breezy sounding synths and soothing vocals wrapped up in a beautiful dream pop atmosphere. I hope to hear more from Cerulean in the near future but for now you can head over to bandcamp and grab the track for free. Also be sure to check them out on soundcloud. Recommended for fans of Twin Sister, Beach House, and Made In Heights.
Beach House - Bloom
Beach House-Lazuli
Here’s the second single released off off Beach House’s upcoming fourth album, Bloom. ”Lazuli” is soaked in beautiful, lush dream pop goodness and upon hearing this track I’m even more excited for May 15th to be here. I’m not sure yet if Bloom will replace Teen Dream as my favorite album of theirs but with Myth and now Lazuli it’s looking like it just might do so.
