Wild Nothing “A Dancing Shell” Video + ‘Empty Estate’ EP

Wild Nothing

Wild Nothing didn’t waste anytime writing more tunes following 2012’s Nocturne release and fresh out of their sets at Coachella, they’ve released details of a new EP, a video, and a brand new track.

The Empty Estate EP, features seven tracks recorded in Brooklyn at Gary’s Electric by Al Carlson, and the video for “A Dancing Shell” follows a surrealist art deco drawings through various situations.

Jack Tatum had this to say about the new EP:

“This is a record that happened very fast for me. We had just gotten back from a particularly long European tour last November, our first supporting Nocturne, and I was feeling a lot of things. I found myself struggling with what it meant to be a musician, with what music in general meant to me and what part I could possibly play in it. Playing the same songs every night for months left me bored with myself. But when I got home, for the first time in awhile it suddenly seemed that the pressure was off. We didn’t have any tours planned for several months and I started to remember again why I love music in the first place. I listened to Brian Eno and David Bowie for weeks on end and felt like I was hearing them for the first time. I took a trip to Miami with my girlfriend. I visited my family. I felt free to try things musically that I would have stifled before. The songs on this EP were recorded over a 10 day period and are a reflection of this time. Of all the frustrations and successes and moments of peace in between.”
