About Slow Talk.

After two years in the making, Oxford Mississippi’s Steven Ross finally steps wide-eyed from his dorm room into the daylight clutching four songs that lay bare a soul in search of life’s bigger questions. Jaded and full of sardonic wit, Ross makes bold and uncensored music that confides what most of us would keep strictly under lock and key. 

Staccato guitar and playful sounds cushion tales flooded with bitter acrimony. Schizophrenically changing pace from Pixie-esque sonic freakout to frenetic ‘on the brink of a nervous breakdown’ Bright Eyes. Ross spits out numbers as upbeat and singalong as their tone is black. His conversational vocals come from chords seemingly crosswired from the caverns of a darkened mind and the pulses of a misfiring aorta. 

Always with a strong sense of narrative Ross exorcises his fear of growing up and older, waging a civil war against his own destiny with all the world-weary ‘make mine a double’ attitude a professional barfly would spend a lifetime perfecting. That he never loses the ability to keep his tongue firmly in his cheek arms the songs on Treehouse Politics with dozens of addictively sing-along lines.

Is it right to chase love? To grow a beard?  Get high? How’s about wishing your friends dead whilst talking to God? All in the same night?! For the bittersweet sounding answers to these slice-of-life questions, Warmest Chord proudly presents ‘Treehouse Politics’, a deceptively upbeat collection of songs that capture the thrill of life’s chase, and the joy of being utterly and deeply lost.

[WC1] WILD NOTHING Evertide

Wild Nothing - Evertide by Warmest Chord

BUY ITEM

Contains three exclusive tracks not included on the critically lauded debut LP Gemini. Packaged with an amazing phosphorescent dual-image screen-print which changes color depending on the time of day.

Wild Nothing is Jack Tatum. 
Based in Blacksburg, Virginia.

Design by Franz Vesolt.
Drawer. 
Born in 1981. 
Lives and works in France.

Wild Nothing is a one-man maestro by the name of Jack Tatum. A lo-fi deity in the making with his pensive 80s flavoured shoegaze. C86, shoegaze and 1980s British pop are obvious influences but he offers far more than mere imitation and worship. He is an architect to the songs and a sculptor to their sound, engineering beautiful layered songs with interweaving melodies just urging you to hum along.

It comes as no surprise that Wild Nothing was responsible for making the online music community hot around the collars with his emotive cover of Kate Bush’s Cloudbusting. 

The three tracks on Evertide grab you by the hand as they meander, dance and tease a sweet melody from the skyline of hazy guitars. Playful, swelling and layered songs that crescendo along with his searching voice that soars from inner thought to confessional plea. Melancholic musings are set against lyrical guitar lines and melodic basslines that wouldn’t sound out of place if New Order had ever mated with Ride and then gone on to secretly date The Cure. 

Wild Nothing knows a little about the physics of love. He sings from a place of both innocence and despair where hearts soar at the heady throes of first romance, to the heartache of lost love. He sings with a heart-stopping voice that is sweet and desperate in equal measures. Desires, hopes and fears laid bare. Expressing things you’ve wanted to say but couldn’t find the words to. Heroic love songs that you wish had been written for you. That these songs come from just one person only confirms the personal nature. He owns these songs entirely.
