90
With Yolk in the Fur, Wild Pink have crafted their most unassuming and naturally beautiful album.
88
This is a truly remarkable album, combining a timeless sound with heartbreakingly beautiful lyrics that achieves the rare feat of sounding both universal and deeply personal at the same time.

The Brooklyn band’s second album thrives on a combination of rock extroversion and frontman John Ross’ hard-won and tenuous new optimism.

New York natives Wild Pink are influenced by early 90’s indie-rock and slowcore, resulting in music creating a meditation of the mind and unfurling all of the emotions and thoughts that we sometimes push back.

Wild Pink has taken on the role of a critical darling at a time when most young indie rock bands must rely on word-of-mouth instead of critical support. Their self-titled debut, which came onto my radar courtesy of a glowing Steven Hyden review, was a patient grower that you could imagine leading towards a bigger, buzzier followup. “Yolk in the Fur” is certainly bigger, and it’s thoroughly unsurprising why Hyden loves it — Wild Pink have gravitated towards classic rock ... read more

Nice, atmospheric, pleasant when it's on- a decent indie rock album that's not going to be remembered for too long.
