Maybe it’s time to start a dream journal.Īfter slowly releasing a number of singles and features over two years (including the standout “Hourglass” on Disclosure’s Grammy-nominated album, “Caracal”), Lion Babe has finally released a cohesive and impressively unique debut album that confidently stands in the already crowded and competitive genre of alternative R&B music. While “Life of Pause” presents Tatum growing at his craft, without the gripping moments like “Live in Dreams” or the title track from “Nocturne,” “Life of Pause” seems to come and go like the fleeting dream memories that evacuate your brain during a morning shower. Sometimes though, even the most pleasing dreams need to end so you can get out of bed and be a person. Yet, “Life of Pause” does feature the same dreamy lush assemblies we’ve come to expect, and tracks like “Adore” emphasize Wild Nothing’s gift of blending dream pop and psychedelic haze into cohesive little lullabies. The signature melancholy, reflective atmosphere of 2010’s brilliant “Gemini” and 2012’s “Nocturne” is replaced with a more casual, observational frivolity.
Immediately, “Life of Pause” presents us with a new, much more airy, lighthearted ambiance distinct from albums in the past. Jack Tatum’s glimmering dream pop outfit, Wild Nothing, recently released its third full-length album, “Life of Pause.” A bouncy marimba begins the album’s opening track “Reichpop” before the signature fuzzy vocals and a funky bassline fill-in.
