Wishy are led by songwriters Kevin Krauter and Nina Pitchkites, and their new single “Lovesick” is absolutely awesome. The Indianapolis band are channelling the fuzzed-out college rock of the 1980s, the big-hearted indie pop of the 90s, and ladles of power pop in the chorus. Encapsulating the freedom and escape of the open road, the sheer abandonment of caring in a chaotic world, and the heart-bursting technicolour of finding love and its bittersweet ups and downs. Pouring it all into a giant chorus that’s a soaring boy-girl sing-along, carried aloft by chiming riffs, that urges a love interest to “cut the shit” is utterly impossible to resist!
This winter will see the release of Wishy’s second album “Nature’s Pill” on Winspear, and on it Pitchkites, Krauter and co. embrace the madness of the contemporary moment. The label describes the record as a “jubilant remix of the past” which manages to tackle the uncertainty and anxiety of the present while retaining their charming side.“Being in an indie band feels bizarre when the world is on fire,” as Krauter explains. “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.”
