Little Hurricane
Here’s a quick run down of the best new albums released in NZ today…
Nocturne by Wild Nothing
Nocturne is the follow up release to Wild Nothing’s critically acclaimed debut Gemini.
The new album Nocturne, is a window into Jack Tatum’s “ideal world” of pop music. Written largely while living in Savannah, GA during 2011, the songs that became Nocturne speak to a new Wild Nothing where the lines between Jack’s influences and personality have been further blurred.
