<a href="/tags/wild-pink">Wild Pink</a> share ‘500 Is The New 250’, another preview of the August album ‘Still Coming Down’, while performing tonight at Philadelphia’s Spruce Street Harbor Park.
The song continues John Ross’s movement toward a more immediate recording style, developed with producer Alex Farrar and a group including longtime bandmates and guests from the wider Asheville indie community. The unusual title suggests changing measurements, ageing expectations or simply discovering that every supposedly reasonable number has quietly doubled.
Wild Pink specialise in expansive indie rock that remains grounded in personal detail, allowing enormous guitars to carry ordinary fears and hopes. Tonight’s waterfront performance gives the new material an appropriately open setting. Hopefully nobody attempts to calculate the title while operating a paddleboat.
