Love how the song starts with a fade in. Nobody really does that these days. Wild Nothing is Jack Tatum from Blacksburg, Virginia. He’s currently working on a new album as a follow up to 2010′s Gemini LP. Listen to a new track, “Nowhere”, over at Pitchfork.
This band has a way of popping up every two years or so in my life. I was first introduced when a friend working for Artemus Records had a bunch of albums to share and Little Barrie’s album, We are Little Barrie, was one of them. Off and on throughout the years the album would resurface from the depths of my ipod and I would go a few months of straight listening, wondering why these guys don’t have more of a presence.
While this new album, King Of The Waves, has been out in the UK since last June, it’s not getting released here until February 28th. What I’m really pissed about, however, is that I missed them playing live when they came through last weekend opening for Charles Bradley (a great find by the way). Given their rarity like aura, I have a feeling that will be the last time for many years too. Oh well, new good music is new good music and I’ll take live or recorded.

Yet another favorite of ours releases a look inside his upcoming release, A Wasteland Campanion. With floating guitar lines and a rumbling bass drum, “The First Time I Ran Away” is a welcome addition to the his giant catalog.
We’re all jumping for joy over here…What a fun reminder that Andrew’s new album, Break it Yourself, is around the corner.
Bradford Cox’s side project, Atlas Sound, is releasing a new album on November 8th called Parallax but that isn’t stopping him from sharing his new tunes with the world right now. So far there have been roughly 4 tracks that you can either download or stream. This is a slightly different approach for Brad who’s typically more anti pre-release and prefers to hold his precious music tight to his vest. He’s even gone as far as create an entirely new B-side for an album that was widely leaked just to show up the people who leaked and downloaded the album that he, the artist, still has some control over when and how his music should be heard. Perhaps this new approach is a way for Brad to continue reaffirming the public that he does things on his terms and if he wants us to hear his music creations now, then so be it.
