Wild Nothing—the Captured Tracks staple led by Jack Tatum—has announced a new album titled Hold, set to be released on October 27. The project represents Wild Nothing’s first new LP in five years, and Tatum’s first self-produced record since his 2010 debut Gemini. The announcement is accompanied by a music video directed by Nathan Castiel for new single “Headlights On.” Mixed by Jorge Elbrecht, with drum production by Tommy Davidson of Beach Fossils, and featuring vocals from Hatchie’s Harriette Pilbeam, the song is a throwback disco-pop gem built around an infectious synth line and swinging percussion.
“It’s a song about your relationship reaching its most brittle moment and still trying to find even the smallest open window that can lead you back to that person,” said Tatum of today’s release. “Musically I was drawn towards something that felt very body-centric and could help get me out of my own repetitive thought patterns. It’s a propulsive and hopeful track that’s meant to act as a release valve, but the somberness that inspired the song remains intact.”
