Indianapolis band Wishy released sophomore album Nature's Pill yesterday through Winspear, accompanied by a new video for "Covergirl," making it one of the more substantial late additions to this week's indie-release pile. Across ten tracks the band expand the fuzzy dream-pop of debut Triple Seven by mixing 1990s alternative rock, 1980s college-rock jangle and early-2000s indie into something considerably more cheerful than the phrase 'shoegaze revival' sometimes implies.
Kevin Krauter and Nina Pitchkites remain central to Wishy's appeal, with contrasting and overlapping vocals giving the band's guitar haze an actual human centre. Nature's Pill was written more collaboratively following extensive touring and recorded with Triple Seven co-producer Ben Lumsdaine in Los Angeles, which helps explain why the album frequently sounds like musicians reacting to one another rather than carefully assembling nostalgia from historically accurate guitar pedals.
Earlier singles "All The Rage," "Lovesick," "Sensational" and "Mona Lisa" mapped out the album's increasingly bright personality; "Covergirl" now gives release day its own visual punctuation. Wishy are not pretending the last thirty years of indie rock never happened. They are simply rummaging enthusiastically through the cupboard, keeping the good bits and making enough new noise that nobody mistakes the result for a museum exhibition.
