Nov 24, 2015 Wild Nothing By Christopher Roberts

Under the Radar favorites Wild Nothing have announced their new album and shared two songs from it. Life of Pause is due out February 19, 2016 via Captured Tracks. The album’s first two singles, “To Know You” and “TV Queen,” have been shared in one video, which you can watch below. It features main creative force Jack Tatum in slow motion in the same setting as the album cover as a mysterious woman lurks.

Thom Monahan produced Life of Pause, which was recorded in Los Angeles and Stockholm (in a studio once owned by ABBA). Peter Bjorn and John’s John Ericsson and Brad Laner of Medicine both guest on the album. Tatum commented on Life of Pause in a press release: “I desperately wanted for this to be the kind of record that would displace me,” he said. “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.”

Wild Nothing’s last album, 2012’s Nocturne, was Under the Radar’s #1 album of that year. Below the video is the tracklist for Life of Pause and above is the album’s cover.
