Wild Nothing - "Chinatown"

Photobucket
Jack Tatum is Wild Nothing: catchy and bittersweet 1980s-inspired synth-pop disguised in low-fidelity swells of cloudy effects and reverb. A retro synthesizer might as well be the new acoustic guitar with every hip and inventive singer/songwriter leaning on the former for self-expression these days. Luckily, in the case of Tatum's Wild Nothing, retro registers as an inspired and wholly original take on a beloved sound. Gemini is out now on Captured Tracks.
