Wishy announces second album “Nature’s Pill” and releases new single ‘Lovesick’

Wishy, the beloved indie-rock band from Indianapolis, has exciting news for fans. They have announced the upcoming release of their second album, Nature’s Pill, set to debut on 2 October through Winspear Records. Alongside this announcement comes the release of the album’s lead single, ‘Lovesick’, which showcases the band’s signature dreamy sound and romantic lyrics.

Fronted by the talented Nina Pitchkites, ‘Lovesick’ is an infectious blend of jangly guitars, dream-pop vibes, and unapologetic romanticism. Drawing inspiration from the upbeat tones of The Cure and the charming allure of The Sundays, this track captures a sense of yearning and longing that is both relatable and heartwarming.

Pitchkites herself describes the song as a reflection of her and her bandmate Kevin’s romantic sensibilities. Their love for twee pop and affectionate nature shines through in the cheeky and overzealous lyrics of ‘Lovesick’. It’s a song that embodies the freedom to express oneself fully and revel in the joy of creating music that is both fun and uplifting.

This exciting announcement marks the culmination of Wishy’s steady climb to success. With previous EPs like Mana and Paradise laying the groundwork for their musical journey, the band truly made a splash with their debut album, Triple Seven, in 2024. The critical acclaim that followed from publications like Pitchfork, NME, and The New York Times solidified their status as an indie-rock powerhouse.

Nature’s Pill, their upcoming album, promises to be a collaborative effort that pushes the boundaries of their sound. Co-produced by Ben Lumsdaine, who worked on Triple Seven, the album was recorded in Los Angeles and showcases a diverse range of influences, from shoegaze and dream-pop to ’80s college rock and 2000s indie.

Featuring tracks like ‘All The Rage’, ‘Covergirl’, ‘Sensational’, ‘Mona Lisa’, and ‘Party World’, Nature’s Pill delves into themes of love, desire, and the absurdities of modern life. With catchy hooks and expansive guitar melodies, Wishy once again delivers a collection of songs that are both introspective and irresistibly catchy.

To support the release of Nature’s Pill, Wishy will be embarking on a North American headline tour, following their recent dates with The Beths and Beach Bunny. With the promise of new music and riveting live performances, fans can expect an exciting chapter in Wishy’s musical journey as they continue to captivate audiences with their unique blend of indie-pop magic.

With ‘Lovesick’ as a tantalizing taste of what’s to come, Nature’s Pill is poised to be a standout album that showcases Wishy’s evolution as a band and their ability to translate raw emotion into captivating music. Get ready to immerse yourself in Wishy’s world of heartfelt lyrics, shimmering melodies, and soul-stirring rhythms as they invite you to experience the magic of Nature’s Pill.
