After making the epically lush Life of Pause, which was recorded in three studios with different producers and collaborators, Wild Nothing's Jack Tatum wanted to do something different on the band's next record. For 2018's Indigo, he first made detailed demos, then took a small band into the studio and spent four days recording the songs live. These recordings were then built up by Tatum and producer Jorge Elbrecht as the duo added new parts and reused sounds from the original demos. The result is an album that's just as '80s-influenced as the last record, but much less fussy and more direct. Tatum hasn't forsaken glossy production and gleaming sounds - everything here is clean enough to eat off of - and the songs are slicker than anything in the Wild Nothing catalog. In fact, they are slicker than anything in the Howard Jones or Prefab Sprout catalogs - two artists Tatum clearly reveres. This detailed, sweat-free approach could have sounded lifeless in the wrong hands, but the team here is lucky to have a typically strong set of songs to work with, and they don't swamp the melodies in overcooked cheese. The saxes are kept on a low boil, the synths are minimal, and Tatum's vocals are kept low in the mix as he sings calmly about heartache. The melodies and songs are strong enough that they could have withstood some less adept production; tracks like the swooning pop dream "Oscillation," the lovely "Letting Go," and the very hooky "Through Windows" would have shone like diamonds no matter what
