Nocturne, the second Wild Nothing album, came out on Captured Tracks on August 28, 2012, and it's Jack Tatum's bedroom project waking up in a proper studio. The success of Gemini, which he'd made on a laptop, bought him real rooms and real gear, and producer Nicolas Vernhes gave him somebody to bounce ideas off. Tatum wasn't out to reinvent himself, though. The dream pop is still gauzy and bittersweet, all chiming guitars, soft-focus synths and a voice half-lost in the mist, just with more depth and polish around the edges.
"Shadow", the first song released from it, rides on a string section he could never have managed alone. Tatum later said the album took him a long time, with months between songs, but the wait paid off: it drew wide critical acclaim and a Best New Music tag from Pitchfork.
