A standalone Wild Nothing single has been unveiled today not long before Jack Tatum ventures out on a European tour.
“There were a number of songs that were kicking when I was finishing Indigo, and Blue Wings was very nearly included,” he says of the track. “I had sent the album off to mastering, but the song didn’t sit right with me and I decided, at the last possible moment, to leave it off the album.”
“It’s intentionally a very bittersweet sounding song. I asked Ben Talmi who did the string arrangements on Shadow to help out with this very simple dissonant string part I was hearing in my head which is now my favorite element in the track.”
“It’s a song about walking through to the other side of crippling self-doubt with the help of someone you love. It’s a reminder to myself not to let things spiral, hard as it may be at times.”
The European tour starts in the UK with Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, London and Brighton shows, while a visit to Dublin is booked for February 16th.
