This fall, Wild Pink will release their fourth full-length album, ILYSM. ILYSM was co-produced by the band’s vocalist and guitarist John Ross, along with with Justin Pizzoferrato (Pixies, Body/Head, Speedy Ortiz) and Peter Silberman of The Antlers. The album will contain appearances from J Mascis, Julien Baker, Ryley Walker, Yasmin Williams, and Samantha Crain
Ahead of the album, Wild Pink have revealed the title track.
“This song, like a few others on this record, takes place where I live and the field next to it,” Ross said in a statement. “A full moon will light up all the rooms here in a way I’ve never really seen and I feel like this song wrote itself a little bit. This album is about love in its many forms and this song in particular is a metaphor for love and obsession.”
To support ILYSM, the band will embark on an international tour, beginning shortly before the album’s release.
