I initially didn’t care for Wild Nothing on record, thinking it sounded a little brittle for my taste. But these boys are worth the hype, in my opinion. They share an aesthetic with Beach Fossils, but without the gimmicky surf vibe. Don’t get me wrong, I love Beach Fossils, but can we get a cymbal? Wild Nothing kicks out this awesome, dynamic set. They sound perfectly mixed. They look like they are enjoying shit. And why not? Their music is so fun and bright without being abrasive. It’s part of this wave shit happening with an ear to the sounds of the 1980s, beginning with Violens “Already Over” and ending somewhere on the far side of the new Deerhunter record. – Dale W Eisinger
