Wild Nothing is 21-year-old Blacksburg, Virginia songwriter Jack Tatum (aka Jack And The Whale aka a member of Facepaint). Yeah, another one man band. But no, not just another one man band.

In an interview he mentions the Cocteau Twins along with Shop Assistants, My Bloody Valentine, and, yes, the Smiths (plus the Radio Dept. and other Swedish pop-makers) as influences. To give you more of an idea he covers Kate Bush’s “Cloudbusting.” To give you even more of an idea…
