2 albums and now 2 EP’s into his music career and Jack Tatum must as proud as punch at how it has gone. Signed to those rustler uppers of the classic guitar sound Captured Tracks his Wild Nothing project is adept at producing staples of the post shoegaze scene. New EP ‘Empty Estate’ is good value at 7 tracks and sits on the fulcrum of the imperious ‘Ride’. There’s nothing new that you haven’t heard before but such is Tatum’s attention to detail and impressive momentum building techniques that it sounds from start to finish like one of this year’s indie blockbusters. The electro touches are a neat aside but it is propulsive chord momentum and Tatum’s own circular refrain that lifts this into the realms of majestic. Just bask in that golden haze. KD
