4.0 out of 5 stars A Haunting Nostalgia Album, October 2, 2010

This review is from: Gemini (MP3 Download)

This album is great if you are in to Shoegaze/DreamPop/80's indie pop revival.. The vocals are haunting and melancholy, creating an atmosphere of teenage emptiness reminisent of the Smiths or Joy Division.. If you are a fan of the Radio Dept. or The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, you will love this!

4.0 out of 5 stars Chinatown on repeat., November 15, 2010

Wild Nothing have an innocent, heart-rendering uplifting sound. They remind me of the best of the Clientele, sometimes the wishing bell sound of The Smiths and their biggest inspiration is The Cure. But let me talk about the songs on the album.

I can't stop listening to Chinatown. What a classic. I first heard them on Pandora, I was listening to the Arcade Fire station and they played "Lips won't last forever (live in dreams)" and I was instantly hooked. Arguably the best song, also the track 1. I can see Bon Iver fans loving Wild Nothing.

Other songs I love include "Drifter" "Confirmation" and My Angel Lonely. The sound is also a little reminiscent of the Cranberries strangely.

I love music because it takes me places without travelling. Gemini is one such album which keeps me entertained even if I'm drinking just water and coffee.

Every song does it's own spin. It's been less than a week but I'm hooked.

Much adoration,

a Gemini

5.0 out of 5 stars Reverb-dreamy, compelling indie pop strangeness, July 13, 2010

By 

Charlie Quaker "The Quaker Goes Deaf" (Normal, IL.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Gemini (Audio CD)

Virginia band release a quietly stunning debut of hazy, oneiric, reverb-drenched, jangly indie

guitar pop that draws creative inspiration from 80's bands. Similarities to The The, New Order,

The Smiths, Radio Dept., The Cure, Orange Juice, Tears For Fears, Factory label bands, etc.

This is the kind of pop music you want to sleep with. It's sublime, fresh, sexy and lonely; with an

earnestly and insistently throbbing urgency that somehow manages to put you at ease while

constructing a bewitching aura of hypnotic pop beauty. Former members of Jack and the Whale,

Facepaint.
