Ever since his debut single in 2009 for his longtime label Captured Tracks, Virginia musician Jack Tatum's Wild Nothing project has consistently unleashed some of this decade's finest expansive dream-pop and shoegaze music. Now based in Brooklyn, his new third album, Life Of Pause, is yet another KEXP favorite. His exclusive guest mix for Midnight in a Perfect World is a wonderful glimpse inside his deep record collection that's packed with timeless psych-pop gems from all over the world, with a heavy dose of selections dating back to the 1970s and 1980s.
