With Yolk in the Fur, Wild Pink have crafted their most unassuming and naturally beautiful album.
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.
The New York trio’s new album Yolk in the Fur zeroes in on the sighs and thrum, with beautiful results.
Impressive EP with few tracks but plenty of substance. Love their instrumental jamming. Fans of the War on Drugs, Oasis and maybe Kings of Leon (lol) would like. 🤙
Some pretty guitar work, but overall a little uninspired. It is nice background music for working, it just doesn't lend itself to a deeper analysis.
