Wild Nothing is the dream-pop project of Virginia-born musician Jack Tatum, whose foray into the realm of indie music began with a well-received debut in 2010. Wild Nothing's sound is characterized by a blend of ethereal, synth-driven melodies, introspective lyrics, and an homage to the spirit of 1980s new wave and 1990s shoegaze. Tatum, who started Wild Nothing while attending college in Blacksburg, Virginia, quickly distinguished himself with his thoughtful songwriting and ability to weave nostalgic tones with contemporary indie sensibilities.

Over the last decade, Wild Nothing has consistently delivered a slew of critically acclaimed albums and EPs, further cementing Tatum's reputation as a staple of the indie dream-pop scene. From the lo-fi beginnings of 'Gemini' to the polished production of 'Indigo,' Wild Nothing's progression showcases Tatum's evolution as a songwriter and a producer. Tracks such as "Blue Wings" and "Partners in Motion" exhibit a matured, refined sound, with lush instrumentation that expands the project's dreamy soundscape. The live album "Live from Brooklyn Steel" provides a snapshot of Wild Nothing's compelling live presence, capturing the airy ambiance of Tatum's music in a concert setting. Even amidst an ever-evolving indie landscape, Wild Nothing remains a beloved act, both for long-time followers and newcomers drawn in by the project's transcendent sound and emotive sincerity.
