Wild Nothing
On record, Wild Nothing is a one-man show. Painstakingly crafted by singer/multi-instrumentalist Jack Tatum, the songs are all jangly guitars and hazy vocals, evoking the best of 80s dream pop. Live? It’s a different creature, as Tatum’s personal musings are broadened by a full band. “There’s five different takes on [my songs],” he says.
