like a dreamier third eye blind with some code orange and hints of duster Hey, music critics… I feel like we need to take a breather from time to time. It's okay to like music because it sounds good: it's okay not to force meaning onto every note or syllable. I'm not saying that Wishy's music isn't meaningful or that they don't wear their influences on their longsleeves, but I don't think that Pitchfork name dropping just about every dreamy-ish band (including Turnstile?) is all that productive.
The Indianapolis outfit’s sound on their debut is a winning mix of jangly indie-pop, shoegaze and the very best of early ’90s indie pop There is, of course, nothing new in modern music. The best bands take their influences and repackage them to enthral a new generation. And that is very much what Indianapolis five-piece Wishy have done with their debut album, Triple Seven.
Following much anticipation, Wishy have released their first long player, Triple Seven. It feels like the Indianapolis band have been around for far longer than a group just now releasing their debut album. That may be due to regular airplay on SiriusXMU, including being featured on the “Download 15” eight times, following a pair of 2023 EPs and the singles leading up to this release.
