Following on the heels of several diverse musical experiments,
Jack Tatum has thrown himself entirely into Wild Nothing,
a new and utterly convincing solo project. His debut album
Gemini (Captured Tracks, 2010) is the fruit of a passion that
has consumed Jack for several albums—producing a kind of
dream-pop bearing a soft patina of time. Compelling guitar, base,
and stylish drum machine mixes follow some of the formulae in
vogue during the eighties and make Gemini one of the best debut
albums of the year. It is an album that jealously preserves the
sounds of the past but casts off anything weak or tired.
Wild Nothing brings a little bit of retro imagination to the
Soundlabs stage: not to be missed!

With their transgressive and sensual appearance the Dum Dum Girls
certainly don’t slip by unnoticed. Describing their music as a
“blessed-out buzz saw,” these four women from Los Angeles
came together in 2008 out of an idea by guitarist and lead singer
Dee Dee. The essence of their sound is a stylish and sophisticated
mix of musical styles: seventies pop and punk, shoegaze,
and much else besides. Anyone who has seen them will tell you
that they are incredible live, an absolute must-see—not just
because they’re gorgeous, but because the energy in their
music is something they clearly have in their blood.
