Wild Nothing ha annunciato un nuovo EP intitolato Laughing Gas. Il disco, registrato tra Los Angeles e Richmond con la partecipazione di Jorge Elbrecht, conterrà 5 brani e verrà pubblicato il prossimo 31 gennaio via Captured Tracks.

Jack Tatum ha dichiarato:

I think of the EP’s title as being representative of a kind of manufactured bliss and loss of control. So much of people’s lives are caught up in the quest for wholeness and sometimes it feels so much easier to loosen our grip through these fabricated shortcuts, whether it’s escapism, self-medication, seeking external validation or any number of other things. I often find myself guilty of almost all of these, but ultimately I think this EP finds me in a place of trying to go easier on myself. I’ve been extremely fortunate to continue releasing the music I love after 10 years of Wild Nothing and this release feels no different.

Per celebrare i dieci anni dell’album di debutto Gemini, i Wild Nothing (che live diventano band vera e propria) terranno un mini tour negli Usa insieme ai Beach Fossils.

Oltre all’annuncio dell’EP, la band di Blacksburg ha rilasciato il singolo Foyer che potete ascoltare di seguito.
