CRITIC REVIEWS
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.

The New York trio’s new album Yolk in the Fur zeroes in on the sighs and thrum, with beautiful results.

Wild Pink does a decent job at reviving some of these sounds on their ... read more

Wild Pink is an American Indie Rock band from New York that have released EP’s and a debut through a small label Tiny Engines. and through them they now release album two Yolk in the Fur. The band brings together different elements of Rock, Folk and Power Pop into their music, so it comes across sounding a lot like Tom Petty songs, if they were being sung by Paul Simon. At times the music is soft and peaceful and at others they get a little crunch to them, especially when they let a solo ... read more
