Wild nothing gemini album review
Critical reception
Gemini received largely positive reviews from contemporary music critics.
Ian Cohen of Pitchfork Media praised the album, stating, "Wild Nothing doesn't feel like a facile genre exercise so much as honest personal expression borne of intense musical fanhood. And in a strange way, it becomes something of a deceptively joyous affair, a reminder of why so many songwriters retreat to bedrooms or garages to lose themselves in the music-making process. Gemini is grand when it sulks, and even better when it's in motion-- check the falsetto hooks of "Confirmation" and "Summer Holidays", or the clattering, kinetic "Chinatown". Tatum carves a tunnel from Ibiza's beaches to Manchester's rain-soaked fairgrounds, and in the process, captures a lot of what is exciting about underground music's current classic indie-pop fixation."
Pitchfork listed "Chinatown" at No. 73 on their Top Tracks of 2010 and Gemini at No. 49 on their Top Albums of 2010, with Pitchfork reviewer Zach Kelly stating, "Wild Nothing's 'Chinatown' finds just the right mix of melancholy and urgency."
Stereogum placed "Gemini" ninth on their Top 50 Albums of 2010 list.
