Wild Nothing is Jack Tatum, a young Virginian who got his career off to a start with a Kate Bush cover. You have to admire the courage.
His 2010 album Gemini displays all the right influences, C86, shoegaze, '80s janglepop, Sarah. There's also a bit of ambient in there, but the effects are used to enhance rather than envelop, in a way that keeps the focus on the pop element of his songs, where it belongs. It's really nice.
This one sounds like Orange Cake Mix in a blender with OMD.
