Gemini

The debut, made alone in a bedroom, 8.2 on Pitchfork.
Wild Nothing, 2010

Tatum wrote every track. Pitchfork's Ian Cohen gave it 8.2 and wrote that Wild Nothing does not feel like a facile genre exercise; AllMusic's Tim Sendra gave 4 of 5, saying the melodies are so strong, and Stereogum ranked it ninth among 2010 albums. Pitchfork put it 49th of 2010 and 25th on its 2018 list of the 30 best dream pop albums. It did not chart. Tatum told the Big Takeover in 2019 that on the first record, where I did everything, I hear it. AllMusic compared him to OMD, the Cocteau Twins, New Order and Echo and the Bunnymen.
