In the first interview done with us here (well stolen from 88days), one of the albums of the year for us, it’s beautiful and extremely delicate - and yet blissfully pop at times. When even the bass slinging masses of online blogs love a record like this - you know it’s something special.  Released last week in the UK and US via the pretty much amazing Captured Tracks we recommend you buy and enjoy this record: This record was a beautiful friend when my heart was recently broken. Can you tell us who you are? Yes I can. My name is Jack Tatum and I write songs as Wild Nothing And how you reproduce your music live, and how you feel about performing  your music live. I think that live my music comes across a bit differently than it does  on record. The record is very intimate and hazy but I think live people  might find us more clean and energetic. It definitely takes on a full  band sound, a little bit louder, little bit faster. How do you see your music evolving both sonically and in terms of how  people consume it? I mean I think for right now I’m happy with how things are going,  learning the ropes of playing shows and touring, but recording is my  first love and I want to keep making records that people can get excited  about. Sonically I think I’ve gotten a lot out of my system in terms of  influences, and while I’m really happy with what I’ve done I’m ready to  explore different genres in the next couple years. Ultimately I’d like  to find the perfect balance of all the things I love and just make my  own kind of pop music. Wild Nothing - Chinatown from Jack Tatum on Vimeo. What influences do you take from other musicians, literature and visual  art and how to they reflect in your music? I think when it comes down to it I’m inspired by sincerity more than  anything else. In music, film, art… I like things to have intentions  and meanings behind them. The more honest something is the better in my  eyes. What’s your favorite song or music video today? Ah I dunno. Ariel Pink recently made a mix for FACT that I’ve been  listening to like crazy. Lots of ridiculously obscure stuff. My favorite  on the mix is a Sumatran folk song called “Indang Pariaman” by  Samsimar. It’s super repetitive and addicting MP3: Ariel Pink: FACT mix
