Wild Nothing: NPR Music Field Recordings
Музыка
When most people think of Palm Springs, visions of softly baked desert landscapes come to mind. However, upon arriving at the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, we were warned that the temperature differential between the desert and the top cliff of the Chino Canyon was about 30 degrees - cold enough that it would require warm clothing and an adventurous spirit. But Wild Nothing singer-songwriter Jack Tatum and his tour players were game to load onto the rotating tram car and ascend to more than 8,500 feet above sea level.
Abandoning extraneous gear at the Tramway landing, both the band and our crew hiked down into the San Bernardino National Forest and then up onto a side of the Mount San Jacinto peak. With rapidly freezing hands, the band performed its song "This Chain Won't Break" for this Field Recording with a stripped-down assortment of instruments (two guitars, an amplified iPad, a bunch of dried tree pods turned into a makeshift shaker), giving this ode to a challenged relationship a much more nuanced, somber feel.
Once our feet were solidly back on the desert floor, the members of Wild Nothing were surprised to come across a group of fans who'd recognized the band from its recent Coachella performance. We toasted the chance meeting with some local wine and a random piece of sheet cake - and took the requisite Instagram pictures - before setting out for warmer climes. -- SAIDAH BLOUNT

why am i just finding this
Oh okay, right on. Hmmm, see I can see why you might compare the two and recognize their obvious influence that they take from Talking Heads, for sure has that 80's dream pop/synth'y vibe, but I feel like they put enough of their own/modern spin on it to make it interesting and enjoyable, kinda like the band Foxygen does with their influences from the 60's/70's (they do an even better job of it though). You listened to them at all? /watch?v=vNXZd303TjQ Yeah, the Deerhunter song is quite nice
Jack Tatum
Richard Swift, Elbow, I Am Kloot, Deerhunter, Wilco, Stephen Malkmus & Spoon to name a few. I wouldn't really call any of those generic and you're likely familiar with more than one of them I would guess. I had never heard Beach House until just now. As far as that vein of music goes, I like Brazilian Girls & Bonobo as well some older stuff like Neu! & Brian Eno but I can't say I'm real hip to electronica. I'm an old fart.
2:00 The skill it takes to play the iPad.
nice! whats that small guitar instrument called?
well, you have confused me a lil bit by putting beach house in a electronic genre...? they are dream pop/indie rock. i dunno, labeling bands into genres often can be more confusing than helpful, lol. but anyway, yeah some (wilco, malkmus, spoon) of those i am a bit familiar with...mostly wilco. have you gave any other of wild nothing a chance? their latest EP, Empty Estate is some of their best stuff imo. this song in particular i really enjoy, /watch?v=b20SV7v0fzE

A guitar.
Beach House sounded heavy on the synth and drum machine, thus the electronic designation. I liked it, BTW. The Wild Nothing stuff still isn't doing for me. Sounds like a regurgitation of this: watch?v=pVrVY540xdc If I could pinpoint it to one thing I'd say it was the singing. I'm guessing you might like this Deerhunter cut: watch?v=1mBSOtdOjoc
welp, agree to disagree i guess....that is some lovely musicianship from the milk carton kids as well. just a totally different style from wild nothing. wild nothing stands atop a plethora of generic pop/indie rock that is out there these days. if ya cant appreciate it...oh well i guess. haha...so is there any bands in this vein of style that you do appreciate? beach house perhaps?
Would have been much better without the iPad...
lolwutswrongwithyouboi?!
Yea I think it would sound better without the IPad
your taste needs a helping hand my friend.
might as well play the actual song through the ipad speakers if you're going to do that.
If generic chord progressions, gutless lyrics and flaccid musicianship is your bag, have at it, but you can't convince someone who knows better. Here's one NPR Music clip worth watching: watch?v=fp0xjVzmKxY
Maybe next time you expend the time and effort to produce such a music video you could find a band that's not prepackaged to be sold in displays at Starbucks. Boring.
Ok this was one of the worst videos of your channel, but only because of the band.
Boring
This is terrible
