    Emotionally rich and full of depth, Indigo is easily Wild Nothing’s best album to date.

    While Indigo is no groundbreaker, it’s exciting for an album with so much nostalgia to sound as fresh and pristine as this.

    Indigo is another block in the impressive body of work Tatum has built over the decade, and it's some of the best retro '80s (but not stuck in the past) music anyone is making in the 2010s.

    Tatum manages to punctuate his dreamy discography with an evolved lens, a direct by-product of his decade-long experience recording under the Wild Nothing moniker.

    Wild Nothing's endeavor is certainly not revolutionary, but it does provide a musical comfort as it returns listeners to the new wave era. In doing so, Tatum easily expresses his own creativity while channeling a familiar, yet fresh, direction for Wild Nothing.

    Indigo pleasantly recreates the sounds of 80s synth-pop, making for another winning chapter in their discography.

    While it’s easy to get the gist of every song on Indigo, Tatum never sets an actual mood.

    Insanely beautiful album, but also unbearably boring. If you make enough effort, you can listen to the end.
