Wild Nothing is an American indie rock/dream pop band that was founded in 2009 in Blacksburg, Virginia. With their unique blend of dreamy melodies and catchy guitar riffs, they have captivated audiences around the world.

Inspired by artists such as Craft Spells, Tamaryn, and Small Black, Wild Nothing has carved out their own distinct sound within the indie music scene. Their music combines elements of shoegaze and synth-pop to create a mesmerizing sonic experience.

With albums like "Gemini" and "Nocturne," *Wild Nothing* has gained critical acclaim for their introspective lyrics and lush instrumentation. Their songs transport listeners to another world, filled with nostalgia and longing.

On Laughing Gas, the third EP from Wild Nothing, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jack Tatum delves deeper into the territory where he thrives: namely, the synth and sophisti-pop of the 1980s. Working within a more mechanical and synthetic framework than his previous releases, Wild Nothing continues to delicately toe the line between the organic and the unnatural. These are still pop songs, but there's an underlying sense of uneasiness that threads the music together. Recorded in Los Angeles, CA and Richmond, VA with the help of Jorge Elbrecht, these five songs were originally imagined alongside last year's Indigo and were written and tracked simultaneously with the album. When work on the full-length was nearing completion, Tatum set these ideas aside; they seemed to fit better on their own. In spare moments between tours, Tatum began to look back and piece the songs together at his home studio in Richmond, reconnecting with Elbrecht to mix the EP. With Elbrecht in Denver and Tatum in Richmond, the two went back and forth on the final touches, molding a common thread from the Lo Borges inspired new wave of Sleight Of Hand to the propulsive, icy synth funk of Foyer. Often considered a secondary or transitional format, Wild Nothing has always used the EP to further explore new ideas and influences. Laughing Gas is no exception.
