Wild Nothing Announces New Album Life of Pause, Shares “TV Queen” and “To Know You”

On February 19, Jack Tatum returns with his latest Wild Nothing album. Life of Pause, the follow-up to Nocturne, is coming via Captured Tracks (Bella Union in the UK/Europe). It features the first two singles “TV Queen” and To Know You”. Listen below.

The album was recorded in Los Angeles and Stockholm with producer Thom Monahan. Peter Bjorn & John’s John Eriksson and Medicine’s Brad Laner guest.

In a statement, Tatum discussed the process of working on the new album:

I desperately wanted for this to be the kind of record that would displace me. I’m terrified by the idea of being any one thing, or being of any one genre. And whether or not I accomplish that, I know that my only hope of getting there is to constantly reinvent. That reinvention doesn’t need to be drastic, but every new record has to have it’s own identity, and it has to have a separate set of goals from what came before.
