Wild Nothing - Golden Haze
Golden Haze is the knowingly-titled new EP from Jack Tatum & co, swift on the heels of the glorious Gemini which was only released back in June. That record (as I mentioned at the time) featured a shimmering blend of 80s inspiration that has been pushed even further with this 6 track collection and is particularly evident on the New Order homage, Take Me In. And at last the wonderful Vultures Like Lovers (a double A-side release with Summer Holiday last year) gets a full outing. It’s always great when one of the best breakthrough artists of the year also turns out to be one of the most productive (see Pains of Being Pure At Heart in 2009).
