Wishy

Wishy's Nature' s Pill captures a world where life feels unpredictable and overwhelming, yet full of possibility. On their vibrant sophomore record, Wishy entertains the madness-capturing romantic frustration, neurotic desire and the melodrama that ensues from simply being human in a jubilant remix of the past. Nature' s Pill bears all of Wishy's trademarks: zany lyrics transfiguring melancholia into freedom, choruses set to become instant classics, and an unholy fusion of sugary grunge, indie rock and dream-pop. Wishy's genesis has been a prolific burst powered by the band's musical synergy: the Mana and Paradise EPs in 2023, debut LP Triple Seven in 2024, and a follow-up EP Planet Popstar in 2025. After those releases met acclaim and the band's stature rose, the conception of Nature' s Pill was fundamentally different. Written more collaboratively than past releases, the group reconvened with Triple Seven co producer Ben Lumsdaine in Los Angeles, where the quintet packed into a tiny studio and tracked half the songs live in the room, imbuing the album with the immediate energy of a band in sync after heavy touring. It gave them the ability to synthesize an even greater array of touchstones this time around, with the '90s dream-pop and alt-rock of Triple Seven fusing with '80s college rock and '00s indie.
