In a little over a month, Jake Tatum will release Life in Pause (his third Wild Nothing album) on Captured Tracks, but today, he unveiled another track from the upcoming LP: “Reichpop.” The track follows “To Know You” and “TV Queen,” which were both revealed late last year, but “Reichpop” trades the previous songs’ surf-guitar twang in for the delightful plink of a vibraphone, and a bass line that would make Paul Simon proud. Towards the end, Tatum sings “I’ll try a new face for now,” and the fresh, multi-layered instrumentation present in the new track suggests that this sentiment might be closer to home than we think.
Listen to the building, playful, and atmospheric “Reichpop” below.
Life in Pause is out on February 19 via Captured Tracks.
