4TH ALBUM FROM ONE-MAN DREAMPOP MACHINE JACK TATUM AKA WILD NOTHING! Indigo was recorded in just four days at the legendary Sunset Sound studio in L.A., produced by Jorge Elbrecht (whose collabs with Ariel Pink are a Lab fave). From the label: “Indigo is its own cyborg world, utilizing the artful mechanisms of human touch with the precision of technology to create the classic, pristine sound Jack Tatum had been seeking his entire career. On one hand, it is a return to the fresh, transcendent sweep of his debut, 2010s Gemini, and on the other, a culmination of heights reached, paths traveled, and lessons learned while creating the follow-ups, Nocturne and Life of Pause. From the opening drum beat, chiming guitar, and sweeping synth of ‘Letting Go’ to Tatums Bryan Ferry vocal turn on ‘Oscillation’ to the 80s-heavy blips, clicks, and strut of ‘Partners in Motion,’ its clear that Indigo is at once vintage Wild Nothing and a bold, new leap into a bigger arena.” The wonderfully 70’s-inspired jacket comes with a die-cut window layered with a printed transparency that changes when you pull out the inner sleeve.
