Same, I love them so much. Started with the Nocturne album years back after digging through music, been with them ever since. Laughing Gas EP, Indigo album...unbelievable masterpieces. We recently ate mushrooms and listened these albums, awesome experience.
It would have been awesome to be able to listen to the whole Indigo album played live in this setting. The five albums being commented about during the interview are the following: * Roxy Music - Avalon (1982) * Kate Bush - The Sensual World (1989) * Fleetwood Mac - Mirage (1982) * Prefab Sprout - Steve McQueen (1985) * The Blue Nile - A Walk Across the Rooftops (1984)
As someone who came of age in the '80s, I can confidently say he NAILED this list. Kudos to his babysitter or whoever turned him on to these gems. Also, super happy that I happened on Wild Nothing -- I look forward to hearing more from them for years to come.
He really has gotten better singing live. He doesn't push his voice as hard. Now if only they'd play the steel pipes during Chinatown because they're a huge part of the song
I remember when I saw them live 2 years ago, at the time I had only really listened to Gemini but they were in town and tickets were fairly cheap so I decided to go... best decision of my life lol they’re now one of my favorite bands and I can’t wait until I can see them live again, they’re just so damn good, I constantly have the live album on repeat
Met Jack after a gig in Liverpool, seeing them in Manchester next month. Incredible back catalogue, Nocturne is one of my favourites of all time, if not my absolute favourite!
Prefab Sprout- All Around The World! The Blue Nile! I got Walk Across The Rooftops, when it came out. Great stuff! I just got into Wild Nothing... amazing work!
Cuando vinieron a México y tuve el `honor de verlos en vivo en el Plaza Condesa fue Magnifico , la verdad la canción Partners in Motion sonó igual con el Saxofón al igual que Wheel of misfortune se escuchaba igual , y su voz en vivo y con el sonido del Plaza Condesa se escuchaba muy muy genial , espero vuelvan a venir ya que me percate de que había muy poca gente en este concierto a lo máximo éramos como 150 personas.
Man I know mexicos got some secret indie theme going on over there since the great rock n roll act through the 60s and 70s and 80s is still moving in some cases there and a majority further down our other Latin friends
@Moon Child damn from Bon Iver to Wild Nothing I see your comments. nice taste! I met Jack back in Blacksburg as teens and went to school with the guitarist, Nic Hessler here in CA. IF you're not already familiar check out his old band *Catwalk* you might enjoy! *Nic Hessler* - I Feel Again & *Catwalk* - (Please) Don't Break Me Cheers! :]
спасибо! это самый выдающийся альбом последних двух лет. а прослушал я не мало, уж поверьте. но это звучит просто невероятно! какой-то новый уровень музыки. поздравляю!
You guys are smth else...many many thanks for KEXP having you guys altogether to share a wild nothing which means everything of love, joy, happiness , wellbeing , dancing, chill out...pads, guitars, voices, attidues ...yeap..common u guys..Carry on! Got the Chicago concert in my mind...many years ago! lol
As ironic as it might sound: I discover these lads from Men I Trust. Actually, MIT were opening for WN in their latest tour, but I actually had a great discovery since I like Men I Trust for a while now. So yeah, I discovered a band from whom should be discovered by this band xD
l need to get some of their stuff, nice feeling to this music. keep on doing what ya'll doing! had to edit and say this is glorious, oh my. Hey late night talk show, get them on , no scrap that, can we get them on SNL!
That blew me away. How can you NOT know of Prefab Sprout? It's like saying you've never heard of The Sinceros, or Shoes, or Duncan Browne, or Aztec Camera. Jeebus.
Not heard of Prefab Sprout???? When Love Breaks Down is pure gold. Paddy McAloon is a genius singer/songwriter. While you're on it, check out another of one of Jack's favourites, China Crisis from Liverpool. You can definitely tell where what he's been listening to.
