This week, Wishy also announced a new album, “Nature’s Pill“, and released its first single, “Lovesick.” They have also announced some new tour dates.
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” is the band’s sophomore album, the follow-up to 2024’s “Triple Seven” and 2025’s “Planet Popstar” EP.
“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.
Wishy is vocalist/guitarist Nina Pitchkites, vocalist/guitarist Kevin Krauter, guitarist Dimitri Morris, bassist Mitch Collins, and drummer Conner Host. The Indianapolis shoegaze/dream-pop band recorded the album in Los Angeles .
Krauter had this to say in a press release: “Being in an indie band feels bizarre when the world is on fire. What can you do at the end of the day other than carve out some space—at the very least I have my imagination and I can invite others to join me there. At a certain point you need to say fuck it and roll with it.”
Of “Lovesick,” Pitchkites says: “There’s not much more that needs to be said about yearning in 2026, but here it is anyway. Kevin and I are stupidly romantic people who like twee pop so that combination alone was a recipe for a cheeky ‘main character’ song. We really leaned into the overzealous lyrics here because 1) we’re allowed, 2) can do whatever we want and 3) it’s fun 🙂 yay!”
“Nature’s Pill” is due out October 2nd via Winspear.
