Wild Nothing announces new EP 'Empty Estate' for May
Wild Nothing will follow-up one of the highlights of 2012, his acclaimed full-length Nocturne, with a new EP on Bella Union next month.
The musician will release Empty Estate on 14 May, a 7-track short-player which features lead cut ‘A Dancing Shell’, the video to which you can stream lower down.
Jack Tatum said of the release:
“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. “
