Wild Nothing Tour With Twin Sister

Wild Nothing is the project of Jack Tatum, whose fascination lies with the mixed feelings of nostalgia and regret, which he turns into dreamy pop songs.

The band has booked a series of summer tours with Twin Sister, including a stop at the Pitchfork Music Festival. Tatum released his first full-length Gemini on Captured Tracks last spring and the album drew raves from the likes of SPIN and Pitchfork. It showcased Wild Nothing’s fascination with the concept of having loved and lost.

You can hear the track “Golden Haze” off of Wild Nothing’s first album right here. Look for Wild Nothing with Twin Sister this summer here:

07/11 Philadelphia, PA – Johnny Brenda’s *
