Nocturne, the second album by Wild Nothing, originally released in 2012 and critically acclaimed, is a window into the "ideal world" of pop by American singer-songwriter Jack Tatum. Largely written in 2011, the songs that became Nocturne blur the lines between Jack's influences and personality. The album features open references to Gemini, his debut album, but it is also an album that feels much less anchored in something specific, marking a distinct evolution in songwriting for Wild Nothing. With an unexpected new fanbase to turn to, he spent more time perfecting his craft. The obsessive nature of Nocturne is inherent in its sweet harmonies, orchestrated synths, wandering vocals, and songs that reflect his post-Gemini experiences as he explores new paradoxes of pop. And yet, Nocturne is not straightforward; it is a strange and distinctive musical creature, the product of an obsessive pop vision that creates its own reality. Over the past ten years, Nocturne has stood out as the quintessential Wild Nothing record, featuring the standout tracks of the catalog "Shadow," "Paradise," and "Only Heather," all of which have become staples of live performances over the years. Limited anniversary reissue pressed on marbled blue vinyl, new inserts, additional notes written by Tatum, and a lunar calendar poster included.
